27585 Leap of faith: reconciling the modern and ancient worlds as an indigenous educator 10:00 AM 10:45 AM Wednesday Aroha Gilling (Te Whānau a Apanui) Leap of faith: reconciling the modern and ancient worlds as an indigenous educator Every day I talk to my students about indigenous values and beliefs and in particular how important and ever present our ancestors are. Now and again the ancestors decide to talk back. This presentation is based on unexpected events, which intrude into the mundane world and present the opportunity to bridge the gap between a sceptical, largely secular society and an ancient world steeped in generations of knowledge and custom. It is framed within the principles of a kaupapa Māori paradigm to support my students and myself to develop a willingness to navigate contested landscapes with humility and a sense of wonder in an effort to test and ultimately expand our conceptual limits.

27622 Woppaburra traditional calendars & cultural mapping- a counter-narrartive. 10:00 AM 10:45 AM Wednesday Hendrick Van Issum (Aboriginal Australian) Woppaburra traditional calendars & cultural mapping- a counter-narrartive. During Inti Raymi, an ancient Incan tradition marking the winter solstice and honoring the sun, Bolivias President Morales referred to the Gregorian calendar as 'untidy'. "We must reclaim our ancestral calendar as part of the rebuilding of our identity,” President Morales stated. Similarly, this project was part of a wider PhD thesis, where Elders' knowledge was represented visually. The culture of the Woppaburra people has been exhumed through the data collected as described in Yins (2009) case study method. I have used Yin’s (2009) multiple data sources to interpret the Woppaburra seasonal calender as a cultural map. This has then been used to inform environmental educational practice.

27691 What is the impact of learning te reo Maori/the Maori language on Maori well-being? 10:00 AM 10:45 AM Wednesday Sophie Nock (Ngati Kuri, New Zealand Māori) What is the impact of learning te reo Maori/the Maori language on Maori well-being? Whilst it is clear that significant disparities exist between Māori and Non-Māori around health and well-being outcomes, and the broader picture of the Māori and Indigenous health landscape demonstrates an assumption that cultural loss as an outcome of colonization has led to poor health outcomes for Māori and Indigenous peoples. Logically, Indigenous cultural revitalization and in particular Indigenous language revitalization is assumed to increase well-being. This research will report directly on the investigation of the association between learning te reo Māori and the effects on Māori health and well-being. Workshop Indigenous Languages

Chamorro faculty of the University of Guam will share their narratives of working with indigenous students within the constraints of an American university – one that has engendered distance between various ways of knowing. Participants will be invited to share similar narratives that interrogate the ways that educators and students work to narrow distance between western pedagogy and indigenous ways of knowing in post-secondary education. This sharing will open dialog that will address the struggles of indigenous peoples at large who negotiate similar relationships. Workshop Culturally Responsive Education

The Listening Stone Project: Learning From the Indigenous Education Focused Collaborative Inquiry 2013-2016 Constagno and Brayboy (2008) argue that although the writing on Culturally Responsive Schooling is insightful, “it has had little impact on what teachers do because it is too easily reduced to essentializations, meaningless generalizations, or trivial anecdotes – none of which result in systemic, institutional, or lasting changes to schools serving Indigenous youth” (p.942). Informed by the voices of community members and educators our paper investigates how the First Nation, Métis and Inuit Focused Collaborative Inquiry is transforming Indigenous Education across the province. It offers new insights and a deeper understanding of what it takes to create systemic and institutional change. Workshop Public Education for Reconciliation

Robin Butterfield (Ho Chunk, Wisconsin; White Earth Chippewa, Minnesota,United States)
Preventing Student Bullying: A Return to Resilience Native students performance in school is directly related to how they feel about themselves, their sense of safety, and whether their school climate is inclusive or not. Bullying prevention research informs us that those students most frequently bullied are ethnic minority, two-spirit, and disabled. We also know that most parents and educators don't know what to do to prevent bullying or how to intervene in a bullying incident. Join us in this interactive workshop to gain knowledge about bullying and how to prevent it, and to practice easy intervention strategies. These proven practices can help end bullying of indigenous youth and ensure their return to resilience. Workshop

We face challenges of homesickness, loneliness, mental health issues, drug and alcohol addictions, and unhealthy relationships which could be attributed to the intergenerational effects of Residential Schools. Despite this, we have seen a high retention rate as well as a high percentage of students getting their credit accumulation. In this workshop you will hear some of our struggles, but more importantly I hope we are able to convey how we are resilient and strong in how we strive to achieve our motto “To Become What We Can Be."

This initiative aims to build an effective and respectful partnership that will implement the 94 recommendations contained within the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action report and will hold the three levels of government and the people of Canada accountable. This presentation will review some of the Truth and Reconciliation recommendations and present practical ways that labour unions can implement them into their collective bargaining agreements and lobbying efforts.  Special attention will be given on methods used to mobilize Indigenous union members and help them to find their own voice, both within the union and the broader society. “The key to reconciliation is through education. It was education that created this mess through the schools, it’s education that will get us out of this in the long run,” stated Senator Murray Sinclair at the First Biennial OPSEU Indigenous Conference held in Cornwall, Ontario on September, 2016. Through education there can be healing and true reconciliation. Learn how our public service union members, the frontline workers that service Indigenous people, is spearheading reconciliation by ensuring recommendations are embedded within collective agreements.  They are not waiting for the three levels of governments to act, they  are proactively advancing the cause of justice for Indigenous people.

Whangai children are treated differently in Aotearoa society because of legislation that embraces mono-cultural (western European) ideas of adoption to the detriment of whangai practice. This has led to discriminating social impacts for whangai and incentivized approaches which conform to mono-cultural norms.

The Mana Model - A Culturally Centred Tool for Positive Behaviour Change Based on the MÄori concept of enhancing Mana (spiritual authority, inherent potential) this exciting tool highlights the MÄori Creation Story as the source of wise messages, examples and instructions for living harmoniously with all things on the earth. Like many creation stories, PapatuÄnuku (Earth Mother), Ranginui (Sky Father) and the Atua (Gods, Totems, Guardians and Deities) provide ancient and eternal values that focus on placing a story in people's minds to allow a perspective on what is happening in their own life. This presentation demonstrates how the Mana Model works in New Zealand Schools and the transformative impact it has had not only with Maori students and their families but with whole of school staff and students, curriculum and ethos.

The role of an Aboriginal Education Officer (AEO) is complex and is undertaken by Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the school context. AEOs work at the cultural interface of both Indigenous and Western Knowledges. AEOs in this study suggested that they position themselves so they are able to create a safe space at the cultural interface of both Indigenous and Western knowledges. By creating a safe space to transport Indigenous knowledge AEOs strengthen the working relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous staff. By teaching Indigenous knowledges to non-Indigenous teachers AEOs found it easier to work with non-Indigenous teachers. Workshop Partnerships in Education

Led by teachers who are supported by specially trained teaching artists/elders in the design of learning, students experience classroom instruction in new and powerful ways– where they are at the center of learning. Thought replaces memory regurgitation and emotional response and personal experience of students replaces a worksheet. In this workshop we will provide access to culturally appropriate online tools and resources to collaborate to build knowledge and understanding with peers from other parts of the world who are experiencing similar challenges while, incorporating their traditional languages. This platform connects with Indigenous Elders and artists through interactions in a virtual learning environment to explore relevant educational issues, curriculum and traditional indigenous values in a contemporary world."

Gurukul & Varna Vyavastha - Indigenous System of Personalisation and Socialisation of Education Gurukul as an indigenous educational system was prevalent across the Indian sub-continent before British colonialism. It is personalised education according to guna (merit), karma and swabhav (character) that determine varna and corresponding ambit of roles and responsibilities in the society from small (kshudra) to big (brihad). Varna could change or remain the same over a lifetime. The social organisation based on varna called Varnashram Vyavastha is designed for the individual soul or atma to progress to higher level over one or several lifetimes. Ashram relates to stages of life. Together, it leads to high quality of life marked with good Health, Happiness, Harmony and rich Heritage. Workshop Indigenous Pedagogy

Examining the past, learning from the present, and reconceptualising the future: Resiliency and Reconciliation in Teacher Education The Aboriginal Teacher Education Program (ATEP) seeks to increase the number of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal teachers with an understanding of Aboriginal histories and perspectives. ATEP’s programming is embedded with an Indigenous worldview, utilizes land-based learning, is community based and relies on the wisdom of Elders to guide students to a place of understanding and resilience. We contend that the relationships that develop between students through the cohort are sites of reconciliation as, together, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people examine the past, learn from the present, and reconceptualise the future of education for Aboriginal peoples.

27603 Enduring confiscation of native lands in the new millenium 11:00 AM 11:45 AM Wednesday Dione Payne (New Zealand Maori) Enduring confiscation of native lands in the new millenium Confiscating unproductive native land has been a stalwart of colonial policies, particularly in New Zealand. The idea of what constitutes productivity is imbued with western ideology that negates indigenous land utilisation to nourish and sustain our people. In New Zealand confiscating Māori land has been confined to the 19th century and reparations through a Tribunal to reconcile those wrongs continue to be undertaken. In reality however, government policy continues to harass the remaining land held by Māori. The notion of unproductive Māori land is now used as a means to access $8 billion of export earnings and promotes legislative confiscation that requires a new period of activism.

The name is inspired by the experience of being born all over again, after discovering that you are not who you thought you were. Stina was born in a Norwegian family, not aware of her sami inheritance. The Sami people of norway, especially the Coastal Sami´s, have been continuously oppressed during the last 1000 years. And after all of the Costal Sami homes and villages was burned during the second world war, and the people were transferred to southern parts of Norway, most Coastal Sami people denied their culture, their language and background, and became Norwegians. Stinas grandmother was one of these people. First time she admitted to her children that she were a sami woman she was almost 80 years of age. Riegadeapmi is a short performance about rediscovering who you are, trying to find and reclaim a lost culture and about trying to find a long lost pride in being an indigenous woman. Riegadeapmi had its premiere at the New Delhi International Arts Festival in october 2016. Stina Therese Lorås Hessaa is a Sami-Norwegian artist exploring a physical and visual expression between performance art, dance and acting. Over the last years she’s been genuinely occupied by indigenous peoples rights and her own Coastal Sami background. Stina is educated as a dancer from the Ballet Academy of Gothenburgh, as an actress from NTNU (Norwegian University of science and Technology) and has an MA from the University of Agder.

This First Nations manifesto failed to secure required monies, thus condemning it to Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau's prophetic promise of "We'll keep them in the ghetto as long as they want." I will give this presentation in a storytelling fashion and touch on the challenges, failures and successes I have observed over the past forty-five years in my effort to secure commitment from Canada for the principles of "Indian Control of Indian Education." Perhaps Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be more accommodating to realize those principles outlined therein. Workshop Governance

Transformative leadership is positioned as critical to attending to 21st Century Australian Reconciliation agendas. The discussion examines: constructions of cultural identities & associated impacts upon well-being & resilience; the role of educators as cultural & spiritual custodians; the development of culturally safe schooling environments & models of radical equity.

Nine preservice teachers were interviewed during the final year of their teaching degree. Each pre-service teacher shared stories of learning experiences that created tensions alongside thoughts of hope and opportunity to ‘make a difference’ in Indigenous education. Their diverse stories have challenged me to consider how to support preservice teachers who are developing an Indigenous education activist identity. This presentation considers ways to nurture this developing identity during and beyond the teaching degree. Workshop Culturally Responsive Education

A Celebration of Resilience - "The Raroera Way @ The Paa" - The Ultimate Indigenous Tertiary Student Support One-Stop Shop! In June 2016, the Waenga Takiwa Educational Support Department of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa initiated a conscientious move to enhance student support services across its territory. The institute itself experienced nation-wide reform and in an institute-first for WIPCE, two dynamic student advisors present insight-filled journeys and perspectives to distinctive service to a phenomenon termed Manaakitanga - that which is effulgently coherent in our understanding to give support and passage to all students, at every opportunity, to successfully achieve their journey of educational transformation.

Racial Battle Fatigue (RBF) has developed as a mechanism to better understand the exacerbation felt by racially underrepresented groups as well as those engaged in race work. RFB is described as the physical and psychological toll taken due to constant and unceasing discrimination, microagressions and stereotype threats. This presentation will discuss the concept and examine how the “academy”, or higher education operates, with respect to RBF, with emphasis on the experiences of Native American faculty, staff and administrators in the U.S. Workshop

27623 Intergenerational success and kōhanga reo 01:00 PM 01:45 PM Wednesday Hoana McMillan (New Zealand) Intergenerational success and kōhanga reo Kōhanga reo emerged in New Zealand to help turn around the near loss of the Māori language arising out of colonially-imposed English only schooling. Some graduates of the first kōhanga reo have now returned with their own children. However, there has been little documentation tracking kōhanga reo graduates including the intergenerational transmission of the Māori language. This workshop is based on a doctoral research which examined the role of kōhanga reo in providing a Māori education to successive generations of children and included the interviews of five families across three generations. The pūrākau (a Māori narrative approach) of one of the families is presented in this workshop. Workshop Indigenous Languages

Ngati Kahungunu, Tuhoe and Kai Tahu) Transitioning Indigenous Youth from High School to University – A Māori perspective. Te Huka Mātauraka is the heart of Māori student pastoral support at the University of Otago. Increasingly, Te Huka Mātauraka staff noticed that while there were pastoral, transitional and support service programmes that existed for students upon their arrival at University, there were very few programmes specifically for “local” students; those students who lived in the University region. The locals programme aims to recruit and retain Māori students by practicing Kaupapa Māori (Māori worldview) principles to ensure their success at University. An important concept of this is whakawhanaungatanga (relationship building)so this workshop is desgined to share some of these practices. Workshop Culturally Responsive Education

Jennifer Louise Teeter (US/Japan)
Revitalizing Ainu language in Japan: making language learning fun With Japan's unilateral annexation of Ainu land, fundamental aspects of Ainu culture were banned. By establishing "Former Aboriginal schools", the government planned to Japanize Ainu, and instructed Ainu to speak Japanese, leading to the degeneration of Ainu language and culture, and also discrimination. However, Ainu are working to reverse this, though there are many barriers, both practical and personal. Through audience participation, we will share how we are working to pass on Ainu by making learning Ainu funwith illustrated card games, an Maori's Te Ataarangi with Ainu language, calendar and a kids' newspaper. We will also discuss how we aim to improve these materials and methods. Workshop Indigenous Languages

Organizing the Stars: Creating a Hawaiian Perspective in Stellarium Inspired by the World Wide Voyage of the canoe Hokule`a, a celestial navigation course was introduced at Kamehameha Schools. As part of the curriculum, students were tasked with contributing to the open source program, Stellarium. They spent a semester inputting Hawaiian star names, drawing constellations and star lines, and providing a Hawaiian star compass landscape for reference. They also wrote their own `oli, or chants to help remember the stars in the star lines. Their contribution to Hawaiian navigation is significant in that it provides another means for students of navigation to learn about the Hawaiian sky. They will be presenting their work, and demonstrating it's use. Workshop Indigenous Knowledge & Ways of Knowing

Overcoming marginalization in Australian schools

ACU Equity Pathways is a federal government funded program. Our aim is to increase participation in higher education of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. We work with schools & communities to build capacity & provide access to educational opportunities which may lead to consideration of higher education. Indigenous students face many difficulties however often the biggest challenge they face is marginalization in education. Indigenous students regularly do not see their own culture valued in schools and the curriculum. This lack of value leads to high absenteeism and lack of engagement. It is often difficult to convince them that school is worthwhile.

YOKAYI WAARBINY WER MALAYIN DJIN-DJIN (Celebrate Art and Cultural Spirit) This presentation discusses the journey of a group of high school female Aboriginal students who held a public art exhibition in Western Australia as part of a collaborative community partnership. The project was designed to enhance the students’ sense of community and self-efficacy, through teaching techniques in ceramics, printmaking and painting. New projections of Aboriginality emerged, with the students expressing topography and self – key themes of the public exhibition. The project transformed a group of students with low self-efficacy and doubts of retention and achievement at school into artists who celebrated their collective worth with family, elders and community leaders.

Pen Pal Project-Neighbouring Communities The Pen Pal Project is a grassroots community initiative that was started by a teacher from Six Nations of the Grand River Territory in 2006. She reached out from her Grade 3/4 class at Six Nations and invited a Grade 3/4 class from Caledonia (a neighbouring community) to write letters to each other. This gesture was rooted in peace and understanding after a Land Claim dispute erupted into community conflict, violence and media mis-representation. Realizing that there was a lack of education and knowledge in the area of Treaty Agreements and the true history of Canada, the teacher simply wanted the children to understand the value of their relationships. In 2016, 2500 students participated. Workshop Public Education for Reconciliation

The return journey of the tribes Ngāti Unu and Ngāti Kahu to tribal cultural prosperity after a 150 years of oppressive and intentional colonisation of Aotearoa New Zealand began in 1998 and raised the question: Is the return journey to tribal cultural prosperity possible when those on that journey carry a virus load of colonisation whose symptoms work against tribal cultural prosperity, its preservation, retention, and growth? This presentation explores the challenge of purging the virus ‘colonisation’, and its pervasive influence within the present and future generations.

Richard Hill (Tuscarora nation)
Decolonizing Chases Indigenizing – Haudenosaunee Efforts at Reclaiming Authenticity Since December 2012 the Grand Council of the Haudenosaunee (Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy) has taken a position to offer their communities educational awareness of colonization during the Recital of their ancient teachings of democratic peacemaking, the Great Law of Peace. From the summer of 2013 a Recital has been conducted in a different Haudenosaunee community each year. Each Recital began with a review of the colonial history that has committed genocide and in some cases marginalized cultural knowledge. This is important step in gaining a community wide understanding of intergenerational trauma, oppression, genocide, land theft, residential schools, and doctrine of discovery. Gaining greater knowledge and understanding removes the yoke of oppression. The challenge then is to seek the Indigenous sovereignty that can be real through revitalizing ancient knowledge in a transformative way that brings these teachings into a contemporary reality by indigenizing of foundational narratives that insert new life into Haudenosaunee culture amidst the mainstream chaos. Through the use of clan discussion groups, history and cultural knowledge are immersed in a dialogue across generations seeking new ways to understand creeds, values, philosophies, natural law, and familial teachings. The importance of sharing in clans allows all voices to owe the desire of original knowledge increasing the movement towards an indigenization of identity. This workshop will provide a narrative of the importance of combining a real review of the invasion and its outcomes with original knowledge in a way that demystifies cultural movement towards an enlightened future.

Melissa Nelson (Turtle Mountain Anishinaabe,United States)
Reconciling Indigenous and Western Ways in the Learning Lodge Native youth need a reflection of themselves in an education system that does not recognize their worldviews and learning processes as valid. Can Indigenous transmission of knowledge occur within a western education system? What are the conditions that allow it or what are the obstacles that prevent it? Are there ways in which we are complicit in the devaluing of Native ways of learning? This workshop presents Native peoples as gifted learners who use their bi-cognitive abilities to contribute sophisticated thinking, creative ideas, and pragmatic solutions. Such realizations and experiences restore the sense of belonging and foster the reconciliation of Native and Western worldviews. Workshop Culturally Responsive Education

Conversaciones con mi sangre Through discussions of my Masters of Education thesis, Conversaciones con mi sangre, the participants will learn how I presented to the University of Auckland, Aotearoa, my experience and research of teaching through indigenous perspectives. Workshop participants will also acquire strategies of how to navigate around Western education systems and their pedagogies that discourage the transmission of indigenous intergenerational knowledge. The desire to convey in our research our culturally relevant knowledge discourses - that truly express our indigenous ways of knowing - can be achieved through the methodology of auto-ethnography. This qualitative method of research allows indigenous subjects of inquiry to speak for themselves. This sharing will open dialogue that will not only discuss the perceived successes but also the limitations, challenges and ways of resolving potential issues that could arise within indigenous students’ research. The workshop will finish with a brief address on another indigenous mode of transmission of intergenerational knowledge: purakau. Workshop Teaching Indigenous Histories

Inuksuk: Sharing Experiences of Nunavut - development of an interactive eBook

In an effort to bridge the gap between north and south, the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board made a commitment five years ago to learn about Inuit culture and it has evolved into a passion and a privilege that we are still nurturing. Both students and educators have had several opportunities to travel from the south to visit Nunavut and experience a first-hand glimpse of the northern landscape, the people and culture. We have compiled experiences from several learning excursions to the Arctic and created an iBook, Inuksuk: Sharing Experiences of Nunavut, which focuses on what we have learned, relationships we have formed and knowledge acquired about Inuit culture.

Indigenous women’s literature will be presented as a site of “homeplace” (bell Hooks, 2007)connected to an understanding of maternal essence and cultural continuity. This Indigenous understanding of "homeplace" moves beyond a site of resistance and is presented as a source of strength that inspires resilience and connects the past, present, and future. Within this context, the classroom becomes a safe space for cross-cultural and emotionally charged dialogue. It is also a site for transformative learning that promotes compassion and empathy between Indigenous and non-Indigenous learners. Workshop Indigenous Pedagogy

Native Hawaiian Academic Advancement through the Research of Ancestral Scientific Knowledge Research and internships are a vital component to the academic success of Native Hawaiian students. To foster Native Hawaiian student enrollment the “Model of Understanding”, a tiered level research design, was developed and implemented. At the core of this multi-level model system is the implementation of a learning process through ʻĀina (land) based learning. ʻĀina-based research is a hands-on approach to developing scientific expertise, connecting indigenous students to an inherit model of learning, while promoting skill building through strengthened academic experiences, in turn, creating a self-directed learner. Cultivating positive engagement through relevant research, underrepresented students discover their place in science and uncover their value in their community; thus confirming their identity, affirming their intelligence and restoring the confidence needed for success. This workshop will provide indigenous educators and learners with a “Model of Understanding” proven to increase the academic rates for indigenous student enrollment, persistence and graduation.

The study presents storytelling as an upbringing method in the Saami muittašangirjjálašvuohta – reminiscence literature. Muittašangirjjálašvuohta is a genre of the Saami autobiographical literature that is based on the oral tradition. The narratives offer personal and local information about storytelling as an upbringing method.

My ancestors dreamt that Te Reo Māori would be normalised in Aotearoa, and the Kohanga Reo movement paved the way in making this dream reality. Ever since, there has been a boom in Kaupapa Māori ways of learning. This presentation is a personal account of how growing up within the full immersion Māori schooling system influenced my development and my transition in to a Western tertiary institution. However, with my father being my principal and my mother being my teacher, this also tells stories on how being raised by indigenous educators influenced my education.

Dr. Bob Phillips (non-Status Urban Mi’kmaq (Great Bear),Canada)
FEATURE PRESENTATION: "KAIROS Blanket Exercise" The KAIROS Blanket Exercise is an interactive learning experience that teaches the Indigenous rights and history Indigenous and non-Indigenous people are rarely taught in mainstream education systems. Developed in response to the 1996 Report of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples—which recommended education on Indigenous history as one of the key steps to reconciliation, the Blanket Exercise covers over 500 years of history in a 2-hour participatory workshop. Blanket Exercise participants take on the roles of Indigenous people in Canada. Standing on blankets that represent the land, they walk through pre-contact, treaty-making, colonization and resistance. They are directed by facilitators representing a narrator (or narrators) and the European colonizers. Participants are drawn into the experience by reading scrolls and carrying cards which ultimately determine their outcomes. By engaging on an emotional and intellectual level, the Blanket Exercise effectively educates and increases empathy for those unaware of the colonialism that Indigenous people still face today. The exercise is followed by a debriefing session in which participants have the opportunity to discuss the experience as a group. This often takes the form of a Talking Circle. The KAIROS Blanket Exercise at WIPCE 2017 is hosted by the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC). CMEC is an intergovernmental body founded in 1967 by ministers of education across Canada, and works to provide leadership in education at the pan-Canadian and international levels. Indigenous education has been a part of the work of CMEC since it was made a priority in 2004. Education ministers are currently implementing a plan of work to respond to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s (TRCC) Call to Action no. 63 and operate within the spirit of the objectives and principles of the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Warning: The Blanket Exercise walks through difficult experiences, such as Indian Residential Schools, the Sixties Scoop and other colonial policies that have affected Indigenous peoples. Cultural and health support will be provided during and after the exercise. For more information, please contact Sara Anderson (sanderson@kairoscanada.org).

Pakirehua - Celebrating inquiry through indigenous epistemologies Celebrating inquiry through indigenous epistemologies - Mā te ruku, mā te wānanga, mā te kōrero, mā te aro atu, mā te wetewete e whakamārama ai te upoko o te kaupapa Pakirehua (inquiry) provides a model of cultural resilience for teaching as inquiry from an indigenous worldview. From a Māori perspective Pakirehua (inquiry) has always been and is what Māori have always done, it's part of our DNA. Ancestors, tīpuna show the way for us; their stories, experiences and knowledge are a natural part of understanding how we (as Māori) inquire, are curious and solve problems. Pakirehua is evident in indigenous practices such as astronomy, transport, navigation, horticulture and food gathering Workshop Indigenous Knowledge & Ways of Knowing

Such an approach is founded upon the belief that what we are lacking in the Māori world is not the quantity of Māori knowledge; there is a veritable plethora of Māori knowledge still available. My research will seek to demonstrate that what is lacking is quality contemporary thought that yields "reflection" contained in that knowledge, i.e., appropriate insight into their contemporary application.

Expanding language domains, emphasizing language use and building literacy using technology, media arts and the Master-Apprentice method. One of the key challenges in reversing language shift, is using the language outside of traditional domains (such as the classroom). To be language users, as well as speakers. In this workshop we discuss our experiences expanding language domains by targeting transitional and non-traditional settings as spaces to optimize language use. We also share our experiences working with current technology and archival materials to create art and new media (comics and short stories) that build literacy and increase opportunities for using language in the home. Finally, we discuss our application of the Master-Apprentice method and share the results of our home-based program. Workshop Indigenous Languages

Coastal First Nations Dance Festival: 50 years of revitalization of dance from the Northwest coast In 2017, the 10th annual Coastal First Nations Dance Festival will celebrate the resilience of Northwest Coast dance over the last five decades. The festival’s predecessor was an annual celebration that began 50 years ago, as one of the key first initiatives to bring back song and dance after the lifting of the Potlatch Ban. The ban attacked the cultures of Indigenous peoples, as well as the intergenerational learning processes through which knowledge, practices, and identity are passed forward, silencing the songs and immobilizing the dances of the Northwest Coast. This presentation will tell a story that demonstrates the resiliency that has carried these practices forward. Workshop Justice & Equity

Including Indigenous knowledge in science education: Impacts on achievement, identity, and attitudes toward science Contemporary science education is not meeting the needs of Indigenous learners. Hence, few Indigenous people pursue careers in science, limiting sovereignty efforts and contributions of Indigenous knowledge to scientific endeavors. In this session participants will discuss a study that provided professional development to eight elementary (Gr. 4-8) teachers and paired each with an elder or knowledge keeper to include Indigenous knowledge in their science teaching over a four month period. Evidence was gathered from Indigenous and non-Indigenous students regarding impacts on achievement, identity, and attitudes toward science.

This research investigates and listens to these stories and identity journeys, considering them as a life long event that began at birth and have for some, continued into the next generation/s.Some adoptees have spent a lifetime seeking the cultural education of what it means to be a Maori and indigenous to Aotearoa New Zealand. The resilience of many Maori adoptees has shown courage and emotional stamina in a life long journey of identity and seeking being able to belong. Workshop Child Welfare

Ako Whakatere is the major reason for the success of Te Ara Reo Māori (Post-secondary Māori language programme for second language learners); a combined effect between traditional Māori learning (Ako) and western paradigms (Accelerated Learning - Whakatere). At the core of this pedagogy are philosophies that focus on understanding the learner’s way of knowing, which then determines how the material is delivered. The mental wellbeing of the learner is central to its success and anyone can succeed. For the past 10 years I have seen how Ako Whakatere transforms its learners. This to me is resilience and this workshop celebrates this achievement in a practical, exciting and ‘Ako Whakatere’ way. Workshop Culturally Responsive Education

Bidwewidam Indigenous Masculinities: Reconciling Gender Relations Reconciliation is often framed as a process between Indigenous and settler populations, with question arising about rebuilding a relationship that “never was.” But what about reconciling relationships within family and community? Until recently, there has been very little research about reconciling the position of men in Indigenous families and communities, nor about reconciling the relations between the multiples genders we once knew. This presentation will share the findings of the Bidwewidam Indigenous masculinities project, in which Indigenous people across Canada talked about men, masculinities, and the related learning and knowledge transfer that can contribute to community wellness.

27624 Māori Social Work Degree Embedded in Māori Values 04:00 PM 04:45 PM Wednesday Alma Winiata-Kenny () Māori Social Work Degree Embedded in Māori Values Te Wānanga o Raukawa is a Māori tertiary educational institution. We deliver an undergraduate degree in Social Work which focuses on achieving Māori wellbeing. The expression of kaupapa tuku iho (values inherited by Māori ancestors) is fundamental to our institution and the design of this degree covers the range of values that we think are necessary in order to achieve Māori wellbeing. A theory of Māori wellbeing can be described as, “a Māori state of being that is characterised by the abundant expression of kaupapa tuku iho”. To illustrate what this means in practice, four degree graduates were interviewed, their stories as practitioners documented and the findings will be presented.

There has been a shift in the nature of films that form indigenous storytelling; there is now a greater range of creative multi-media approaches to sharing our stories led by Indigenous women.

Christine Williams (Ngāi Tahu iwi,Tangata whenua o Aotearoa New Zealand - NZ Māori)
The challenges to teach heritage ethnolinguistics within early childhood education in Aotearoa New Zealand In Aotearoa New Zealand learning te reo Māori without the cultural framework in which it exists is like cooking authentic cuisine without any genuine ingredients, meaning you lose the essence of a language and its cultural significance. Over the past two decades research still reveals that teachers have found it challenging to deliver bicultural content, some teachers argue that te reo Māori can be learnt devoid of culture (tikanga) for mere functional or academic purposes, so what this means is that you will end up with the ability to function in the language as an outsider at a minimal level and have no real appreciation for the people who use the language.

Incorporating family trees, oral history and vivid autobiographical narrative, I explore the impact of this relocation in the eastern Qikiqtani region on my immediate and extended family.

The Medicine Horse Way: A Return to Wellness for Indigenous and First Nations Peoples The concept of "Spirit Horse Medicine” has played an important role within many Indigenous societies/cultures throughout the Americas for thousands of years. Despite the fact that the Dominant culture claims credit for introducing the horse to the Native Peoples and that government policies nearly exterminated the Indigenous Horse of the Americas, many of our Elders have preserved valuable history and traditional knowledge regarding the spiritual practices surrounding the horse. In this workshop the history of the horse and its relationship with Native Peoples will be discussed, and an explanation of "Horse Medicine” provided. Workshop participants will learn how this knowledge it is being utilized once again within Native communities today. Workshop

Sheila Carr-Stewart ()
Treaties in Canada: Education Promises and Conflicts The British Crown and First Nations met and agreed to Treaties from the Maritime Peace and Friendship Treaties 1750s to the Numbered Treaties 1871-1923. Days and weeks were spent in discussing the Treaties but language, culture, and colonialism resulted in two understandings of the Treaties. The Crown agreed to provide western education and at the same time committed to ensure that western education did not "deter" from Indigenous education. The Crown provided only limited educational services through the 1876 Indian Act. This research looks at the lack of the Crown's commitment to provide quality Treaty education services and 150 years of second class educational services. Workshop Justice & Equity

Grafting Indigenous Ways of Knowing Onto Non-Indigenous Ways of Being We examine issues that arise when Indigenous epistemologies are interpreted through non-Indigenous ontologies in research settings. The concept of grafting refers to the act of transplanting ways of knowing and being from a context where they emerge naturally to a context where they are artificially implanted. We explore this context through a poem that outlines the difficulties Indigenous people face when inhabiting academic spaces whose architecture is built on the modernity's violence. Next we outline critiques of educational spheres, coloniality & move to a discussion of cosmology, ceremony & sacred pain.

Building cultural competency, commitment and resilience across a system of schools The Catholic Diocese of Wollongong is located between Sydney and Canberra and home to significant populations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. In 2008 it was recognized that the number of Indigenous students enrolled in Catholic schools in this region was disproportionately low, and a strategic plan to engage more genuinely with communities, make Catholic schools more accessible and culturally inclusive, and to build the cultural competencies and commitment of staff was put into action.

The 3 R's of education MUST be different for our indigenous students. Given the profile of our youths,before they can succeed in the academic sphere,we first must make sure that they succeed in living. Our youths are, unfortunately,high Risk students.They continue to suffer repercussive circles of painful and humiliating colonization.They need to be equipped with Resiliency to overcome these challenges and be able to access the power of human adaptive systems to view unfavourable conditions as merely temporary.In this workshop,I will facilitate a mindfulness lesson and together we can see how it can be used for self-regulation to increase social-emotional intelligence in indigenous students.

Aboriginal people, on the other hand, acknowledge land as Country where being and knowing the land is holistic. The ongoing and enduring relationships Aboriginal people have with the land in relation to their connection to Country repudiates the concept of "terra nullius" that Europeans brought to the land they called Australia. With notions of property and ownership at the forefront, Western literature has continually failed in its inability to represent Aboriginal experiences of Country, effectively silencing Aboriginal standpoints.

In Aotearoa/New Zealand, traditional Māori cultural practices have been used in Māori language schools to link language to culture in a more authentic way. Embedded within these cultural practices are philosophies and activities that trigger psychological, physical and physiological responses that enhance learning. These responses provide practical precedents and real life evidence for new learning "discoveries" from the fields of brain theory and neuroscience. This presentation will identify learning strategies from traditional Māori cultural practices. It will then propose new learning models using those practices to validate learning theories from neuroscience.

In Aotearoa New Zealand, there is an expectation that 70% of our beginning teachers will leave Maori medium within the first two years of entering the teaching profession. This requires traditional Maori ways and attitudes of mentoring beginning teachers.

What has not been done before is a full exploration of how Aboriginal students deemed 'at risk' and in other sectors respond with an equine psychotherapy approach by an Aboriginal practitioner. Magic happens and it is a phenomenological offering of a relationship and shift in time and space that perhaps can account for a change in the causal pathway that so many of our young people are on.

Stronger Smarter Jarjums We believe a positive sense of cultural identity is essential for educational success. The Stronger Smarter Approach builds this strong positive identity for children and their families through collaborative communication processes in which we describe as ‘High-Expectations Relationships’. Our approach asks everyone to take responsibility for change. We ask everyone to join us in raising our expectations – not only for Indigenous children, parents and communities but also of ourselves. Learning starts the day we are born. A high quality education early in life will give our Jarjums the best start. Early childhood educators are in a powerful position to provide our Jarjums with the foundation for the rest of their lives. In early childhood, relationships are at the heart of everything. The best outcomes occur when educators and family members work together. Nurturing relationships, positive interactions, and a strong sense of identity are all vital to the self-esteem and emotional wellbeing of our Jarjums. Stronger Smarter Jarjums introduces the concept of High-Expectations Relationships to build stronger relationships with Jarjums and their families and ensure greater collaboration in decision-making.

Due to the impact of colonization, younger generations may feel intergenerational impacts of identity shame that their relations suffered but as the political climate changes in urban centres, a resurgence of pride may be fostered. I explore stories of resurgence, resiliency & reclamation of identity in mixed-blood indigenous women on unceded Coast Salish territory & how these women, who do not have direct connection to their own ancestral lands, form connections with the land they are visitors on.

Indigenous Astronomy from the Inside In the past, most Indigenous astronomy was written about by non-native archeologists and archeo-astronomers, through the lens of western and often religious perspectives. Today more Indigenous peoples are researching their own astronomies. This is to pass these ways of knowing down to future generations, but also to people from other tribes. In this presentation we will present planetarium shows developed by Dine (Navajo) and Dakota astronomers who have been studying their own astronomies and related sacred sites.

With this newfound knowledge, a national roadshow was strategised to reeducate the collective. The primary aim was to realign the knowledge of the existing seven stars and introduce a further two stars long forgotten in our history. Video played a key role as a modern storytelling tool, aiding our ancestors stories to become more resilient, improving retention and preservation of our cultures future. This presentation highlights the role of video in the pursuit of Tino Rangatiratanga, whilst recognising the challenges of using video and how social media can skew traditional knowledge.

This intersect provides opportunities and challenges including [but not limited to] enhancing admission, retention, achievement and experiences of our students. Māori with diverse identities have a unique opportunity to access cross section support and are not restricted to one avenue- a Maori student from a low socio economic background, who has a visible impairment has the right to access all levels of support to nurture his admission, retention and achievement.

Integrating Matauranga Maori into business as usual – a Crown Agency approach

Te Hono o Te Kahurangi is the name of the whare that uses a unique whare ako framework to bring together Mātauranga Māori and Evaluative Quality Assurance (MM EQA) into one seamless approach within a crown entity. It assesses how well, and to what extent, education providers are contributing to education outcomes of ākonga, whānau, hapū, iwi, and where relevant, hapori Māori. This workshop discusses the extended scope of the updated approach, and how New Zealand Qualification Authority (NZQA), has since positioned in-house cultural capacity and capability to quality assure qualifications, programmes and providers privileging Mātauranga Māori in education outcomes.

This workshop investigates the potential of formal education systems to develop preventative education for Indigenous girls vulnerable to sexual exploitation. The knowledge of this workshop is based on the perspective of five Indigenous sexual exploitation survivors and 19 service providers in Saskatchewan, and a secondary study with new participants underway in Calgary. Recommendations are based upon three primary questions; what is causing vulnerability; how is recruitment/entry happening; what should prevention look like? Workshop Child Welfare

The Agreement gives The Sámediggi the possibility to influence, but it does not grant them veto in matters affecting Sámi interests. Formal decisions are still made by state authorities. If The Sámediggi disagrees with state authorities this will be stated when the matters are treated in government and national parliament. We will present how sámi education has been treated in consultations. Workshop Governance

Indigenous academics in Australian universities: A brighter future? In Australia, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander academics have historically worked in Indigenous centres where most of their colleagues and students are also Indigenous. More recently, Indigenous Australian academics have been taking up positions in ‘mainstream’ schools and departments where they mostly work with non-Indigenous colleagues, and teach non-Indigenous students. We interviewed Indigenous academics on several campuses, in Indigenous centres as well as mainstream disciplines or departments. Some of our findings surprised us, appearing to contradict dominant narratives in the literature. In this interactive workshop we will discuss these findings, and their implications today.

Learning through Sport - An On Country Football League in Central Australia This workshop explores the operation of On Country Australian Football at the remote community of Papunya in the Northern Territory. The playing and organisation of football by and for the Anangu peoples of Central Australia constitutes an important expression of Aboriginal sovereignty in context of post-NT Intervention politics. Football along with traditional 'lore business' remains one of few areas of social life where Anangu exercise decision making authority. Football is therefore an important realm in which young men learn from Elders. This workshop explores On Country football as a realm of Anangu learning and asks why formal education systems fail to recognise this. Workshop Nationhood & Sustainability

They have battled the local government to protect and restore the mauri and life-force of their rivers and ocean. One positive result of the legal battle has seen the Gisborne District Council imposed with a Resource Consent condition to improve the mauri of Turanganui a Kiwa. This has been a catalyst for meaningful engagement with Te Runanga o Turanganui a Kiwa and resulted in the co-development of an environmental assessment tool, the Mauri Compass.

Affirming diversity and resilience: Cultural practices in Early Childhood Centres in Aotearoa This workshop will engage participants in understanding how this indigenous framework from New Zealand supports Early Childhood teacher’s pedagogical approaches to support the development and resilience of early learners. The framework promotes core values that emanate from a Māori worldview of wellbeing and resilience. Five core components (Whanaungatanga/relationships, kotahitanga/unity, manaakitanga/caring, rangatiratanga/leadership, pūmanawatanga/natural talent) drive this approach. Each component explores a range of strategies for teachers. Collectively they provide a framework for an inclusive and strength-based approach to enable our young children to unlock their potential.

University Indigenous education: experiences in Canada (University of Winnipeg) and Colombia (Indigenous Autonomous University Cauca and University of Antioquia) Canada and Colombia have been engaged in truth and reconciliation processes over the last decade. Canada's TRC issued its final report in 2015, while the Colombian government and guerrilla organization FARC signed a Ceasefire and Disarmament Accord in June 2016. The policies associated with these reconciliation and peace processes will impact Indigenous peoples' ability to access and assert their rights towards increased self-determination. The panel will bring together leading institutional and Indigenous university education initiatives that acknowledge Indigenous worldviews and aim to utilize education programs in achieving full recognition of Indigenous peoples within their states.

Aboriginal Australian storywork and the decolonisation of racism within education: Maridyulu Gagamari Burrugin (The Four ‘Clevermen’ and the Echidna): Within Australia, an expanding research base has focused on both the nature and impact of racism from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives. This research has not only highlighted the entrenched and systemic nature of racism within Australia, but also revealed how racism cannot be solely understood from non-Indigenous epistemologies. This workshop shall critically engage with such research, and explore how the findings may be applicable to educational outcomes and policies today. The themes emerging from this critical review will also be tied into the multiple layers of meaning found within a D'harawal Law Story teaching of the consequences of the misuse of knowledge.

In 1987, te reo Maori (the Maori language) gained status as an official language alongside English. The latest data shows four percent of non-Maori secondary school students are learning te reo Maori. There has been little, if any research which shows the motivations and learning experiences of non-Maori secondary school students learning the Maori language in English-medium settings. The purpose of this presentation is to examine the factors that influence non-Maori students in an English-medium secondary school to learn the Maori language. Workshop Indigenous Languages

Issues arise when intrinsic cultural values are seen to be workplace redundant. Managers must accept how these characteristics cannot left at the door as they significantly influence stakeholder identity, motivation and behavior. Recently, my Masters Thesis "An Investigation How Customary Nyungar Practices Can Impact Stakeholder Relationships with Industry" explored how Indigenous values impact workplaces. I hope to explore the International perspective of a PHD to examine negative effects from dismissing these cultural values in workplaces that service Indigenous stakeholders.

He is known as the first Hawaiian to practice the ancient art of navigation since the 14th century. Inspired by his kūpuna (elders), he has dedicated his life to exploring the deep meaning of voyaging. These important mentors taught him about the mysteries and sacredness of the ocean, about the stars and natural signs his ancestors used to navigate great ocean distances, and about the universal values of voyaging – of having a vision of islands rising from
the sea, of self-discipline, preparation, courage, risk-taking and the spirit of aloha that would bind a crew on arduous journeys. These lessons and more guided Nainoa and Hōkūleʻa, a replica of an ancient Polynesian voyaging canoe, throughout Polynesia for 40 years and now around the world on the 4-year circumnavigation to “mālama honua” – care for the Island Earth. Nainoa will share about the history of Hōkūleʻa, the art of traditional Polynesian wayfinding, his unique experiences voyaging around the world, and the great navigators he has met in Hawaiʻi and around the world who are guiding their communities and our Island Earth towards a better destination.

How can teachers put this into classroom practice? This workshop provides participants with an opportunity to consider, experience and critically reflect on some of the learning opportunities proposed, thus contributing to the ongoing development of the Framework.

Delivered on the country of the Noongar people of south-western Australia, ACE encourages reconciliation and the revelation of misrecognised social truths. Our lecture will explore how five pedagogical approaches – on-country visits; critical reflexivity; place sensitivity; action research; and service learning – are employed to impart cross-cultural literacy that students are carrying into their professional practices.

The time is now to re-examine our understanding of 'whakamā' as a reflective tool, in order to shape our future. By definition, whakamā means to be ashamed, shy, bashful and or embarrassed. This need not be a negative concept; it can be seen in a positive light, as a trigger for transformative action. Case studies will demonstrate how we can appraise the mistakes of the past in order to move into the future, with a strong focus on Māori concepts of behaviour in our teaching and learning.

Separating Mortuary Byproducts from a Municipal Sewage System To Maori, all parts from tupapaku, the deceased, are extremely tapu and sacred and should be treated with respect and dignity. For half a century mortuary byproducts have formed part of the Gisborne municipal sewage system which has been discharged into its rivers and ocean. This practice violates all cultural and Maori scientific views and degrades the mauri and life force of Turanganui a Kiwa and its people. The practice has been contentious. Recently, local tribes through Te Runanga o Turanganui a Kiwa have made progress with the Gisborne District Council to investigate land-based solutions. This workshop provides the background to and the alternative solutions for this dilemma. Workshop Justice & Equity

Indigenous Empowered Education: Cultivating Cultural Identity Education has been used by colonizers as a tool of assimilation, by systematically stripping away children’s cultural identity. A 200% education model realigns school systems to provide 100% education from existing curricula, with an additional 100% of cultural content. Examining the complex Akwesasne education system, this workshop provides a qualitative analysis of the 1996 takeover of the St. Regis Mohawk School and the resiliency of Mohawk parents asserting their rights and responsibilities to educate their children.

This article is based on the teaching experience of the course ‘Introduction to Ethnic Art’ in the higher education in Taiwan. I examine the dynamic process between the course design of the teacher and the learning of the students. Given the fact that the backgrounds of the students are diverse, the course has become one of multi-cultural education and of indigenous education. This complicated situation is further explained by using the example of craft as a way of cultural learning, and the construction of knowledge that is embedded in the process of learning.

A lesson in Indigenous higher learning mentoring through the stories of students and traditional master practitioners. 02:00 PM 02:45 PM Thursday Areta Kahu (Aotearoa ,New Zealand) Maori mentors and their scholars: Post graduate supervision? A lesson in Indigenous higher learning mentoring through the stories of students and traditional master practitioners. Stories have emerged of Maori post graduate students whose supervisory experiences were horror stories such as supervisors losing work or unavailability. An investigation found that "supervision" implies a one-way traffic of information to organise and absorb; that which is given by the supervisor and taken in by the student. Essentially, a more Indigenous concept of ‘supervision and student’ such as ‘mentor and student’ or those that can be found in tribal knowledge, requires consideration. A sharing of post graduate experiences will be made. Participants will be encouraged to identify tribal stories and elements of Indigenous mentorship to formulate a framework for post graduate work.

But what happens once they leave the reserve for high school? Our students encounter an educational environment that is alien to them. Students lack the support and mentorship that the FNMI Policy Framework promises. The provincial government and First Nations communities fund the school boards but are the boards accountable to either body? This also doesn’t account for students that live off reserve and find themselves not reflected in their teachers or support staff. Our response to this inconsistency and injustice is making those accountable for our children’s education Workshop Culturally Responsive Education

Becoming a foremost indigenous-serving institution: Lessons from Hawaii The University of Hawaii system has adopted language articulating a commitment to becoming a foremost Indigenous-serving institution. This language follows three decades of concerted efforts by a handful of primarily Native Hawaiian staff and faculty who have dedicated their lives to college readiness and success for Native Hawaiians. This new institutional commitment is rare among public universities. Many questions arise in this exceptional situation. To begin to answer these questions we present a panel of leaders in Native Hawaiian student post-secondary success and who have used Title III funding from the U.S. Department of Education to introduce more culturally relevant curricula.

Teaching within a colonial institution, often to very hostile privileged students has seen me over the past eleven years develop a personal pedagogy that is strongly embedded in my Indigenous identity and the history of resilience of my family and the Yorta Yorta people. My pedagogy is based on personal narratives, my own included, that directly challenge the privileged position of the students I teach, while simultaneously giving space for other marginalised voices, in particular Indigenous ones. This workshop will explore my use of narrative and story as Indigenous pedagogy, and its impact on my students both Indigenous and non-Indigenous, but also on myself as an educator.

As a Maori male serving as the CEO of a Reservation in Quebec, I learnt just as much about my own culture as I did about Mi’gmaq traditions. The power of sweatlodge as medium of education, the integration of varying cultures, that also heals and provides pathways. In the darkness of a sweatlodge in Atlantic Canada, booms a Maori chant that was designed to move a mountain in my tribe, is used to move “mountains” in Eastern Canada. I will compare and contrast our two first nations, drawing sweatlodge as process and first nations culture as the solution. Workshop Indigenous Knowledge & Ways of Knowing

Developing assessment that stimulates students to learn about Indigenous people, places and philosophies yet simultaneously about themselves, their worldview and their environment can be challenging. Particularly when given the disciplinary range of students enrolled in Aboriginal studies, combined with a diversity of cultural backgrounds. This workshop encourages a transformative approach to thinking about Aboriginal studies, presenting an opportunity to develop assessment that enables all students to become motivated and inspired to learn.

Systematic land cession has reduced the domain of the Kiowa to a disjointed "trust" land base and endangered language. Despite forced cultural and linguistic assimilation, many Kiowas have maintained the language.

Before Columbus, over 70% of the Indigenous nations were peaceful and Clan centered. The invasion of 1492,followed by the infamous papal Bull of 1493 and its deadly "Doctrine of Discovery", ushered in genocide on a hemispheric level, disruption of native values, patriarchy, and a legacy of rape and violence against Mother Earth and women and children that haunt us to this day.

In this lecture we take a retrospective look at language programming in the Six Nations community, and share our thoughts on these questions: What works, what can we leave behind? What did we used to do, what have we learned since? What is on the path ahead of us? Key insights include (relative to our languages): 100% immersion is crucial; Have a clear beginning, middle, and end to your program; Have something to measure against; Be reflective; Research, research, research; Have the right vision.

Pēpi Pack (First Connections) Nau mai e rea kia mihi atu tō iwi ki a koe – Weaving our newest strands of Tahu Ngai Tahu are a Maori tribe indigenous to Te Waipounamu (the South Island) of New Zealand. As a way of connecting whānau (families) to the tribe, a pÄ“pi (new born baby) pack was developed as a traditional woven baby basket. The basket was designed to keep babies safe to sleep and to connect whānau with their tribal ancestors. Each pack includes a whakapapa (family tree) scroll that links the baby to his/her ancestor from the tribe’s 1848 census with a green stone pendent unique to the pack. In this presentation we provide the findings from the first phase of this program and highlight key enablers and challenges to supporting families. Workshop Child Welfare

Indigenous nations are uniting in their mutual efforts to achieve educational emancipation. This is a presentation of mutual efforts between Maori and Native American scholars comparing each community's educational experiences under similar colonial systems and contemporary efforts to reclaim language and identity. It will examine oral traditions of Maori and Native Americans, the impact of colonial education systems, such as boarding schools, contemporary efforts of Maori and Native Americans to emancipate their education.

This is a priority for language teachers wanting to create an online environment which is as stimulating as their face to face classes. As the technology has developed so too has the online pedagogy of language teachers however there are still opportunities to improve the levels of engagement with online learners.

The recent abstract definition of math has divorced it from humanity and the everyday through colonization and its power of generalization and dichotomies of right vs wrong. Ethnomathematics brings math back to its roots through Indigenous ways of knowing and sensory methodologies, to broaden math again, encompassing the body, the senses, the environment, the spirit, and socialization.

Limited resources both human and financial are being strained to their limits desperately trying to replicate programming that has shown even a glimmer of success on the front lines of language revitalization. The Oneida Regenesis Project tells the story of a group of Oneidas who have taken the time to study and apply global research models, to the program planning, development and shaping (through trial and error) of a model and method of teaching and learning Oneida as a second language, which is commensurate to the Oneida community context. This ethnographic case study is told from the emic perspective of the researcher-participant who is also director of the community language centre where the research is taking place. An Indigenist framework is used in the analysis of the responses and behaviours of the master speakers and cultural elders who are central to this work as the last remaining keepers of the Oneida language. Oneida ways of doing things and Oneida ways of understanding is central to the process emerging. This work may be useful to other groups who are struggling to save indigenous minority language from the brink of extinction. Workshop Indigenous Languages

I have experienced Paris’ ideal as applied to leadership and share elements of a culturally sustaining praxis based on my native Chamoru culture; this can serve as a model for other indigenous people.

Metis Control of Metis Education The recent formation of the Alberta Metis Education Council represents the collective resilience of the Metis to persevere through a legacy of destructive impacts caused by a colonial past. Due to limited funding and capacity, lack of awareness, and failure to engage, the Metis have been relegated to a marginalized positioning in the realm of education. In response to the intent of policy to silence and remove, we navigate beyond limitations of a colonial past to assert the role of education as an integral process of self-determination. We offer insights into how innovations in educational programming have allowed us to forge ahead with our collective values and vision and invite dialogue. Workshop Indigenous Pedagogy

Aboriginal people in these communities suffer from poor health, unemployment, lack of education and abject poverty and are now under threat of being directly cut off from municipal services such as water and electricity. I will be discussing the issues that these communities are currently facing and the worsening of this due to their closures. These closures are a direct breach of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People and should not be tolerated. Workshop Justice & Equity

Jennifer Beale (Butucarbin Aboriginal Corporation,Australia - Gomeroi)
Rethinking the 'Aboriginal' in Aboriginal Service Provision The 1970s saw the establishment of an Aboriginal community sector across Australia: providing varied services. I pose the question, 'What does the prefix 'Aboriginal’ mean, in this context. The term Aboriginal is conflated with particular values, knowledge and sense of being. A commonsense view of "Aboriginal knowledge" has gained epistemic legitimacy. I argue that such commonsense notions are, in fact, constructed and may be complicit in maintaining particular power relationships that mark Aboriginal people as "other". I use Foucault's work to uncover the power structures and uneven power relations that Aboriginality may mask. Workshop Justice & Equity

Stacking the hui – Persuading our university to build staff cultural capability to improve the educational experience of indigenous learners In 2016 an academic colleague and I set out to persuade our employer, the largest tertiary institution in the country, of the need for compulsory staff cultural training. Our experience of the environment, the curriculum and the values that are dominant within the institution is such that despite the increasing representation and participation of indigenous staff and students in the institution it remains largely reflective of the white, privileged male power holders. The challenge that we have undertaken is driven by a desire to change the status quo and to ensure that the institution is a place that is reflective of its position within Aotearoa, New Zealand.

It is common to find indigenous people living in areas of high poverty, low economic opportunities and lack of financial knowledge. Learn how a Native Hawaiian non-profit (INPEACE) is helping to grow wealth for families by strengthening their personal finances. Traditional stories and proverbs are weaved into financial lessons to help families gain an insight of how Native Hawaiians were stewards of their resources many generations ago. Incorporating a cultural component into teaching financial capabilities is helping to bridge the gap between the lack of western financial knowledge and indigenous principles and values.

Project Traditional Technology The purpose of Project Traditional Technology is to increase inter-generational relationships. The project was first proposed by Elementary Students who wanted more technology; however, some elders felt technology was more of a problem than an educational solution. The elders told of grandchildren who no longer joined the family dinners because they needed to go where they could get a wi-fi connection to do their homework. Even when the students did eat together with the family, they were distracted with calls and texting. Project Traditional Technology deals with the students need for technology, and the elders concerns that technology is the problem. Workshop Information & Communications Technology

The Learning Paradigm Shift The educational challenge Greenland faces is not unique—low graduation rates due to insufficient basic skills in math and language is a common issue among indigenous peoples around the world. This affects the ability to remain self-sufficient in their respective communities. Greenland has partnered with renowned educator and trainer, Ole Hjorth, to create and deliver highly effective learning experiences that fit each student’s cognitive style and pace with tremendous success. This paradigm shift empowers teachers to provide accelerated learning that promotes retention of knowledge and skills, and is also the basis for a European Union cooperative development project managed by Hjorth.

Decolonizing our Colonized Minds As Indigenous peoples in Canada, we begin from a colonized place. Indigenous Canadian children are raised in school systems that focus on Euro-Canadian worldviews and ways of knowing. In BC, there has been a move by the Ministry of Education to bring Indigenous ways of knowing into curriculum. However, the need to support Indigenous children to not only understand the many Indigenous worldviews, but to actually make that paradigm shift to the worldviews of their people, is paramount. Through the decolonization of curriculum and school environments, learning our peoples’ ways of knowing and ways of being will support that paradigm shift and the decolonization of our children's minds.

College Prep in Six Weeks? It can be accomplished with a Board Game Strategy in the classroom This presentation focuses on three narratives: 1) a rising Indigenous high school senior's perspective on the importance of college preparation during a summer program and the encountered obstacles regarding college preparation at a remote U.S. high school, 2) voices of rising high schools seniors who utilized the college prep game board, and 3) importance of college prep for students who did not complete secondary school. The journey to college is a path of self-discovery, knowledge, and opportunities to transform and develop Indigenous students as leaders. A kinetic college prep course can help to cultivate a classroom environment and discuss higher education. Workshop Innovations in Indigenous Education

Camping every other week from Monday to Thursday as an extended family in Waipi'o, allowed students to regularly gather data in the field and learn hands-on how to grow, gather and prepare their food. They also learned place names, stories, chants, songs and proverbs and intimately got to know the valley. In the end, the study confirmed not just the revitalization of the stream and its native fauna and flora, but inspiring healing and comprehensive student growth.

FINDING QWAMQWƏMT: RE-IMAGINING POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION FOR ABORIGINAL PEOPLE This presentation examines how educational completion rates for Aboriginal people are directly correlated to systemic factors that continue to marginalize Aboriginal students within the public education system in Canada. The systemic deficits counters a common narrative that the struggle with Aboriginal educational success lies within the struggles of the Aboriginal student. The focus of this presentation is to share a systems-based analysis tool rooted in Okanagan pedagogy to critically examine the deficits and showcase opportunities in the educational system.

Between the two organisations and the Mununjali people of Beaudesert, stories have been shared, relationships built and lessons have been developed to distribute around Queensland schools. This relationship is but phase one in busting the myth that Indigenous Knowledges have no place in a white dominant structure. Workshop Partnerships in Education

This talking circle workshop will engage in discussions about Indigenous ways of being and knowing as they relate to one’s wellbeing and health. We base our discussions on community-focused research in progress about disabilities and relationships, and efforts at improving socialization and safe meeting spaces for disabled Indigenous persons. Through this workshop, we aim to create an ethical space parallel to the ethical space we have been creating within our research community, and underline the importance of reciprocity in transformative research.

The MNOIRP is structured as a community or network of Métis learners that provides information on academic services, cultural events and funding opportunities for Métis students. In this way the MNO Infinite Reach programme remains consistent with traditional Métis values and customs by acknowledging that each member of the community brings with them unique experiences that when shared can empower others.

Weaving Design into the Intersectionality of Indigenous Education and Employment An Indigenous-led project to rebrand the university's Indigenous employment strategy and house key Indigenous texts utilises the simplicity of a box as a design object while transforming it to a cultural object via embedded memory and meaning. Bringing together two designers from different disciplines, this project demonstrates how Indigenous design theory and methodology can mediate cross-cultural understanding and self-determination to meet a real-world brief. Collaborative design weaves intention into tangible cultural heritage, exploring themes such as place, mapping, Indigenous knowledges and weaving, all experienced through the cultural backgrounds of Aboriginal women.

But how do you leverage the investments in education to building greater capacity within a government and community. That takes a lot of buffalo, strategic investments, and partnerships. Westbank First Nation (WFN), has been investing heavily in education for the last 30 years. These investments which include partnerships with the local education district and post-secondary institutions have proven to be a winning combination for success. This workshop will explore the reasons behind the rising tide of graduates within the WFN community and the spinoff benefits investments in education provide to the WFN community.

On Country Learning as a transformative pedagogical approach We present a process developed in collaboration with West Australian Aboriginal communities to invite Elders into a collaborative partnership with schools. As an approach embedded into mainstream schooling, On Country Learning is innovative and provides the means by which Aboriginal Cultures and Histories can be at the centre of a school curriculum rather than as a tokenistic add-on. We draw on the work of (Nakata 2007) and the notion of learning and teaching at the ‘cultural interface’. Further, we demonstrate the ways in which non-Indigenous educators can become culturally responsive (rather than merely culturally aware). We will share the design principles and findings of the project. Workshop Partnerships in Education

Colonization purposefully strove to tear apart many Indigenous communities around the world. However, as proof of their resilience, Indigenous Peoples have consistently fought to secure a future for the next seven generations. This workshop will focus on four critical elements that we believe help to make a community "A People": Land, language, medicine/spirituality, and cultural and intellectual property rights (CIPR). Presenters will provide examples of successful, traditionally-based initiatives that are working to stabilize and rebuild Indigenous communities around the globe.

don't get stuck in your story...come up and have a look- while getting your hair done! Getting stuck in your life story has enabled peoples to stay stuck and not see the need or how to move forward.Creating conscious practitioners through the art of storying underpinned by critical questions is vital as it allows people to come up to a higher/conscious level and have an analytical look at their own authentic story no matter how hard.I use the art form of live hairdressing (braiding) to deliver this presentation because when you are at the salon, it is natural to have whakapapa korero with your stylist.The point of difference is when my clients book an appointment, they come to look good and have a kaitiaki session (conscious korero)and discover what resilience means for them.

Recovering the Remains of a Rainbow: Native Hawaiians' Ongoing Struggle with the Exploitation of Indigenous Lands and Resources Hawai'i is home to a colorful rainbow of endemic plants and animals found nowhere else on earth and, sadly, is the endangered species capital of the world. For decades, Native Hawaiians have battled the exploitation of water resources by sugar and pineapple companies, and more recently, biotechnology companies.This occurs predominately in indigenous communities where pesticides are killing non-target species, upsetting natural systems. The loss of any native species brings an end to the cultural practices dependent upon those species. This panel will discuss Native Hawaiians ongoing struggle to combat environmental racism and promote social and environmental justice. Workshop Justice & Equity

Achieving and maintaining high levels of bilingualism requires collaboration on multiple fronts, including in homes, communities, schools, workplaces, and adult learning programs. Legislation created favourable contexts, but its implementation relies on human agency. Presenters will highlight successes and challenges in legislation and practice, Inuktut learning for all ages, Inuit-driven assessment, and school and family language policies and practices. A final discussion will explore how each of these efforts is essential to the goal of reclaiming and restoring Inuit and Yup'ik languages Workshop Indigenous Languages

Defining Indigenous identity – who calls the shots? Dr Suzi Hutchings (RMIT University) and Deanne Hanchant-Nichols (UniSA) present a follow up session to their very successful workshop at WIPCE in 2014 which explored the construction of Indigenous identities. This time we will pose the question “who calls the shots in determining who can be Aboriginal and who cannot in contemporary Australia?” In the light of new research by Carlson (2016) and others we confront the politicization of Indigeneity that goes beyond the question of color drawing on life-style, alleged community affiliation and kinship in attempts to legitimize specific Aboriginal identities.

Intangible signs of resilience: Deciphering the hidden messages The New Zealand Ministry of Education's introduction (in 2009) of curriculum guidelines for the teaching and learning of Māori language, affirmed the value thereof for all learners in English medium schools. It also helped to validate Māori culture, language and identity. In this workshop, the facilitators place a cultural lens over the guidelines (entitled Te Aho Arataki Marau mō te Ako i Te Reo Māori: Kura Auraki), to make visible the 'invisible' links to Māori customs and protocols embedded in the writings. They also theorise about why they believe Māori and non-Māori teachers alike are unable to access these messages. Workshop Culturally Responsive Education

Te Kauwae Runga, Te Kauwae Raro 'Capturing the essence of the upper jaw through indigenous M?ori arts education’ This paper explores ideas about creativity in indigenous Māori arts education. We employ a metaphor, 'te kauwae runga, te kauwae raro' to frame views of higher creative thinking. Te kauwae runga (upper jaw-celestial lore)refers to matters associated with the origin of the universe and cosmology and te kauwae raro (lower jaw -terrestial lore) refers the world of people. This metaphor reminds us of the importance of striving for a greater depth of knowing through an embodied approach to creative learning. Thi exploration draws on Māori views where knowing is a fusion of mind, body and soul. We conclude with a discussion on curriculum implications to holistic learning in Māori education. Workshop Arts

The formal reconciliation agenda: does it have a place in education? Reconciliation has long been researched by scholars of postcolonial settler nations, including countries such as Australia. In this workshop, formal reconciliation in Australian universities is unpacked via the lens of two universities’ Reconciliation Action Plans (RAPs). Included are early findings of a research project which used policy ethnography to shape the story of how Australian universities hold both formal and informal reconciliation. The tension between what is desirable and what is achievable and whose voices shape the RAP are also explored. Participants will be invited to share reconciliation experiences from their schools and higher education institutions. Workshop Governance

It is based on imported western motherhood ideologies which contradict Māori worldviews. Their monopoly of midwifery education further espouses western midwifery as the only credible body of maternal knowledge thereby, colonizing Māori further. In 2015, I came to He Waka Hiringa: Masters degree of Applied Indigenous Knowledge as a Māori midwifery practitioner prepared to question my profession, generate academic knowledge, and challenge the monopoly of midwifery education through the lens of Kaupapa Māori. What I unearthed was Our First Mothers, an indigenous midwifery philosophy and a Post Graduate Diploma in Tāpuhitanga. Workshop

We adopted an ecological perspective of psychosocial resilience. Embedded in a collaborative strengths-based approach, it invested in practices and processes already occurring and that could serve as foundations for realistic translation and implementation of new knowledge for services supporting adolescents. We gained a deeper understanding of cultural issues behind factors of psychosocial resilience. A grounded theory model was developed and then tested Workshop

Kaihautu are partnered with Pathways and Networks commonly known as Faculties and Departments. They work in collaboration with academic staff, Heads of Practice Pathways and Deans. As part of Unitec’s current Transformation, embedding matauranga Maori within new courses or redeveloped courses have become mandatory. This requirement was stipulated by Unitec itself; an institute driven initiative. This was not at all a requirement specified by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) board. This presentation is a mirrored account of my personal experiences of embedding matauranga Maori into the Level 3 Foundation programmes and Level 4 and 5 Trades courses. This presentation will explore the challenges and opportunities that arose from this process as well as providing exemplars of what and how matauranga Maori is applied in the classroom, in laboratories and on-site/ industry settings. It is without a doubt that we as an institute are still at the emerging stages of embedding matauranga Maori however, we have begun the journey. Workshop Partnerships in Education

The study explored their educational leadership, especially with respect to their ability to lead in the midst of numerous unique challenges. I argue that these challenges make it difficult for them to devote sufficient time and energy to instructional leadership, a necessary component of leadership. A review of the relevant literature indicates that principals with positive instructional leadership practices can improve student achievement levels and may result in higher graduation rates.

Flight or Fight - Kaua e mate wheke, me mate ururoa This workshop presents a framework called ‘Flight or Fight’ that draws from personal experience as cancer survivors. Using the analogy of the octopus (Flight) and hammerhead shark (Fight), we share key insights in how we applied kaupapa Māori thinking, doing and ways of knowing to overcome the struggles of living with cancer. As a result we have found strength and resilience through the engagement of traditional and inherited Māori knowledge to enable our continued commitment to Māori education, both as mothers and as teachers of the Māori language. The potential to transform lives through the application of a Māori centred framework is our contribution - Kaua e mate wheke, me mate ururoa. Workshop

Under Public Law 93-638, Indian Self-Determination Act of 1975 SCF exercised the sovereign right to oversee how health researchers interact with Alaska Native people. This community level review creates alignment with SCF health priorities while taking precautions to protect the Alaska Native community as a whole. The SCF community level review process can be used as a point of reference for tribal communities interested in developing or enhancing health research review at the community level.

In this paper, I argue that the decolonization of the productive land that was appropriated by the colonizers is not only important in restoring the dignity of the dehumanized indigenous peoples of the non-Western world but can also prove to be an important source of income in this moment where colonial modernity is increasingly revealing itself to be a death project among the most vulnerable members of the dispossessed communities.

Australia is spending $43Billion (AUD) on a new high-speed broadband network. At the same time the Australian government is developing a national information and communication technology (ICT) based curriculum. While almost 90% of non-Indigenous Australians enjoy having a broadband Internet connect to the household, only approximately 60% of Indigenous households have the Internet connected. Around 40% of the Indigenous community is excluded from the digital economy, national ICT based education and suffer low government engagement through ICTs.

Understanding the ways Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) are framed and handled by social and traditional media users This presentation addresses how social and traditional media express topics such as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). Media reports of the TRC & MMIW obscure the seriousness of crimes against Aboriginal peoples, and further mitigate the seriousness of their victimization. This signals to the public that crimes against Indigenous peoples do not matter. One only has to pick up a newspaper or tune into a Twitter feed to see how Aboriginal peoples are frequently negatively depicted in the various forms of media. We discuss how sensitive topics can be re­framed and can facilitate solutions to cross-cultural understanding. Workshop Justice & Equity
