A Narrative Inquiry Into the Experiences of Indigenous High School Students Within a Leadership Pathway

• In Event: Exploring Indigenous Education

Abstract

In this paper we will be sharing the stories of 10 Indigenous youth as they experience working within after-school wellness programs within their home community. As we listen to the youth we purposely position them as people with knowledge and strengths. We wonder whether this (re)positioning shifts how they compose their lives on school landscapes in more sustaining ways.
