• In Event: Enacting Holistic Education Research, Repair, and Renewal: What Indigenous Education Can Teach Us

Abstract

Shares findings from a U.S.-wide survey and theoretically rich ethnographic case studies with Partner Schools. Data include 32 site visits, 100 in-depth classroom observations, 174 phenomenological interviews with educators, elders, parents, and youth, and photo/video/audio/document collection. We present selected themes that illuminate the relational quality of these programs and their impacts on holistic academic wellbeing.
