In the words of Mik'maq scholar Marie Battiste--a leading proponent of Indigenous Knowledge and a contributor to this volume--Indigenous Knowledge expresses \"the vibrant relationships between the people, their ecosystems, and the other living beings and spirits that share their lands.\"\u003ci\u003e Indigenous Knowledge and Education\u003c\/i\u003e argues that such knowledge has much to offer schools and students in the United States and beyond. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe volume examines a wide range of Indigenous cultures and educational settings, including Native American, Haitian, Mexican, African, and Australian. The essays are grouped into three themes that exemplify many Indigenous cultures: struggle, strength, and survivance--the latter a notion of survival that emphasizes remembrance, regeneration, and spiritual renewal. Each of these themes is explored in a rich array of articles and capped with new essays by Marie Battiste, Gregory A. Cajete, and Bryan McKinley Jones Brayboy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Malia Villegas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0916690482\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780916690489\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard Education PR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 6.60w x 0.70d","brand":"Malia Villegas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48438043476223,"sku":"9780916690489","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_37cdc54f-fab8-43fc-907e-1cd04fd0154d.jpg?v=1777168419","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/indigenous-knowledge-and-education-malia-villegas-9780916690489","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
