". . . education can be liberating, or it can domesticate or maintain domination. It can sustain colonization in neo-colonial ways or it can decolonize."
- Marie Battiste, in Decolonizing Education, p. 175.
If we are to strive for reconciliation with First Peoples in this country, a key component of the process will be rethinking not just what we teach, but how. In other words, incorporating Indigenous content is not enough. We must also work to reach our Indigenous students by teaching in ways that complement how they learn.
In this article, Jocelyn Parr presents the project 'Reading for treaty people' in response to the need for decolonizing educational resources for the course Western Civilization.
One of the goals of the Indigenization project was to co-create open educational resources that support faculty and staff with the incorporation of Indigenous epistemologies into professional practice, enabling post-secondary institutions to continue to build the structures and processes by which Indigenous students experience their post-secondary education in resonance with their own lives, worldviews, and ambitions.
