| Summary: | This paper provides an outline of an Indigenous educational theory based on Blackfoot,or Niitsitapi, pedagogy. It ascertains relational and experiential factors as essentialcomponents of Indigenous education. This is demonstrated by relating the theory toclassroom practice, using the four elements provided by Blackfoot Elders: language,stories, ceremony, and land. Examples from the author's own practice and referencesfrom Elder transfers are utilized to support the proposed theory. Implications for student engagement, lifelong learning, and economic policies in First Nations communities, inherent in the theory, are also explored. ... : Canadian Journal of Native Education, Vol. 35 No. 1 (2012) ... |
