Come join me, Hollie Kulago (Diné), to learn about the traditions, histories and current issues of Native American teaching, learning and education in the Southwestern region of the United States. All societies have systems for educating the next generation. Indigenous peoples of the United States have their own methods of teaching and philosophies of education that predate contact and are still being used today. In this class we will explore what that means for Native American education as they live contemporarily. We will address questions such as:
· What is an educated person?
· Who is considered “certified” to teach?
· What is considered “formal” education vs. “informal”?
· Who decides what Native American children should learn and how?
Not only have I taught in Window Rock, AZ on the Navajo Reservation, but I grew up there as well. I would like for you to join me in this investigation. This is an important class for anyone interested in learning and promoting cross-cultural acceptance and understanding.
