| Summary: | Yukon is comprised of intricately connected rural and urban First Nation communities. New educators to Yukon are challenged to develop relationships across cultural borders and establish connections to First Nation communities that benefit the students learning. In this research project, a handbook for educators in Yukon is proposed as a positive support for educators returning and entering Yukon's public school system. The handbook will provide educators with a concise resource of what they would need to know in order to work effectively with First Nations students in an Aboriginal choice public school environment. The four directions of spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical of the Medicine Wheel are used to divide the chapters and focus the concepts of learning into a universally-understood and '"accepted indigenous framework. --P. ii.
