Lecture, four hours. Introduction to the diversity of Indigenous voices in education, Indigenous epistemologies, and Indigenous pedagogical approaches. Indigenous pedagogies have been developed and maintained across multiple generations. Oftentimes, these pedagogical approaches stand in contrast to common practices of schooling in the U.S. Exploration of writings of Indigenous scholars who are articulating the theoretical, ethical, and practical dimensions of Indigenous approaches to teaching and learning. Consideration of what theories about human life and relations organize Indigenous approaches to education; role of stories and storywork within Indigenous pedagogies; and role of lands and water within Indigenous pedagogies. Draws heavily from Indigenous scholarship in what is now the U.S. and Canada, although much of the ideas are applicable to or have resonances with many Indigenous peoples and pedagogies around world.
