Indigenous Education
Indigenous Education refers to teaching and learning practices that are rooted in the cultures, languages, and traditions of Indigenous peoples. It aims to preserve and promote Indigenous knowledge systems while addressing the unique needs of Indigenous students. This form of education often incorporates traditional storytelling, land-based learning, and community involvement.
In many regions, Indigenous Education also seeks to bridge the gap between Western education systems and Indigenous ways of knowing. It emphasizes respect for Indigenous languages, cultural heritage, and the importance of community, fostering a sense of identity and belonging among Indigenous youth.
