Sacred Learning: Establishing a Model for Native Education

At present, the future of Native North American education is in crisis.  Many return to the mainstream educational system where they are provided with the same curriculum content that once failed them.  First Nations children, like all other children, are gifted learners, and educators are beginning to recognize that the process of learning is critically important.

In Sacred Learning, Anita Keith puts forth a vision to ensure that our First Nations children have access to an education characterized by excellence of instruction and appropriate academic content.  It must also be provided in a safe and culturally relevant learning environment that is grounded in the traditions, teaching and holistic approach of the Native knowledge and that respects the vision of tribal communities.  Prepare to be challenged and encouraged as you explore Sacred Learning.
 

Anita L. Keith (Mohawk/Algonquin), the author, is the Administrator for the North American Institute for Indigenous Studies and the Vice Chair of the Canadian Bible Society.  An ordained minister, she works closely with ministries such as Youth With a Mission (YWAM), Youth Mission International (YMI) in a training capacity, teaching on cultural issues such as social, traditional and Christian.
