Threads of Indigenous Pedagogy
Abstract
Mandatory Indigenous education courses in teacher education have a large task to fill by asking to fit in a millennia’s worth of knowledge into a 13-week course, also using a western colonial approach to teaching it as well. Looking at the research in this field of mandatory Indigenous education courses, studies have found a large gap in teacher’s knowledges, understandings, and pedagogies, to teach Indigenous history, pedagogies, and knowledges’ in the classroom. This work will look at how Indigenous pedagogies and specifically eight threads of Indigenous pedagogy can help support preservice educators in learning about Indigenous education and how they can teach Indigenous eduction in their future classrooms.
