Indigenous Education

Indigenous Education refers to the teaching and learning practices that are rooted in the traditions, languages, and cultures of Indigenous peoples. It emphasizes the importance of community involvement, traditional knowledge, and connection to the land. Unlike mainstream education, which may focus primarily on standard curricula, Indigenous Education aims to foster respect for Indigenous perspectives, promote cultural identity, and support holistic development—addressing emotional, spiritual, physical, and intellectual growth. It often incorporates storytelling, experiential learning, and local contexts to ensure that education is relevant and meaningful to Indigenous students and their communities.
