Cultural Awareness through the Arts: The Success of an Aboriginal Antibias Program for Intermediate Students.
Butler, Carol; Egnatoff, William J.
Education Canada, v42 n2 p40-42 Spr 2002
A program for Canadian middle school students addressed bias, specifically bias toward First Nations people, through the arts. Students progressed through an antibias continuum containing four stages: no awareness of bias, awareness of bias, political correctness, and transfer to personal life. A survey of 123 students attributed program success to its focus on the arts, which bring people together. (TD)
