Indigenous and Decolonizing Studies in Education: Mapping the Long View

This work delves into the intricate landscape of education through the lens of Indigenous and decolonizing perspectives. The authors, Linda Tuhiwai Smith, Eve Tuck, and K. Wayne Yang, explore the historical and ongoing tensions between colonial educational systems and Indigenous knowledge. By examining various approaches to learning and teaching, they invite readers to reflect on how schooling can be reimagined to acknowledge and honor diverse cultural narratives.

The book serves as a critical resource for educators, policymakers, and scholars interested in fostering equitable and inclusive learning environments. With a focus on mapping a long-term vision for education that is rooted in Indigenous wisdom, it challenges conventional methods and advocates for transformative practices that resonate with Indigenous communities and their histories.
