Evans, Jim McDonald & Deanna Nyce Year: 2000 Journal: Journal of Native Education Pages: 27 Date: January 2000 Short Title: Acting Across Boundaries in Aboriginal Curriculum Development: Examples from Northern British Columbia Label: General Adult Literacy Keywords: Aboriginal; Boundaries & Development; Partnerships, UNBC; Aboriginal Communities; First Nation; Indigenous; Native Abstract: In accord with its institutional mandate, the University of Northern British Columbia has entered into partnerships of various types with both rural and urban Aboriginal communities. This paper describes the processes of partnership building between Aboriginal communities and the University at the level of both institutions an persons. They argue that the success of these collaborations have been enhanced by overtly participatory methodologies, but recognize that these methodologies have been constrained by factors external to the collaboration process. WE suggest that successful participatory process to be uninterested, or to simply facilitate the goals of the Aboriginal Nations with whom they work, run the risk of continuing colonial relationships rather than eroding such relationships through participatory processes.

The central thrust of these initiates has consistently called for the recognition of First Nations jurisdiction over education.

Gruenewald Year: 2003 Journal: Educational Researcher Volume: Vol. 32, No. 4. Pages: 9 Start Page: 3 Date: May 2003 Short Title: Best of Both Worlds: A Critical Pedagogy of Place Label: General Adult Literacy Keywords: Critical Pedagogy; Place-based Education; Decolonization; Reinhabitation; Abstract: Taking the position that "critical pedagogy" and "place-based education" are mutually supportive educational traditions, this author argues for a conscious synthesis that blends the two discourses into a critical pedagogy of place. An analysis of critical pedagogy is presented that emphasizes the spatial aspects of social experience. This examination also asserts the general absence of ecological thinking demonstrated in critical social analysis concerned wxclusively iwth human relationships. Next, a discussion of ecological place-based education is offered. Finally, a critical pedagogy of place is defined. This pedagogy seeks the twin objectives of decolonization and "reinhabitation" though synthesizing critical and place-based approaches. A critical pedagogy of place challenges all educators to reflect on the relationship between the kind of education they pursue and the kind of places we inhabit and leave behind for future generations.
