Cultivating Equitable Education Systems: Reaffirming the Role of Indigenous Sciences

Mon, April 25, 4:15 to 5:45pm PDT (4:15 to 5:45pm PDT), SIG Virtual Rooms, SIG-Indigenous Peoples of the Pacific Virtual Paper Session Room

Session Type: Paper Session

Abstract

The Coolangatta Statement (1999) declares that “Indigenous peoples throughout the world have argued that they have been denied equity in non-Indigenous education systems which has failed to provide educational services that nurture the whole Indigenous person inclusive of scholarship, culture, and spirituality." The papers in this session examine the concept of "science" from Indigenous perspectives and argue that programs built from these perspectives nurture the "whole" of Indigenous peoples.
