Title: Cultural Framework (RHS) Year: 2005 Author: Jim Dumont Institution: First Nations Regional Longitudinal Health Survey (RHS) Pages: 16 Date: February 2005 Short Title: Cultural Framework (RHS) Label: General Adult Literacy Keywords: Aboriginal; Cultural Framework; Intelligence; Way of Being; Indigenous Knowledge; First Nation; Indigenous; Native Abstract: The author discusses Indigenous intelligence and how we have lost that. He states that Indigenous intelligence is the wise and conscientious embodiment of exemplary knowledge and the use of this knowledge in a good, beneficial and meaningful way. Within whatever world view one is operating intelligence has to do with more than the acquisition of knowledge and the mental manipulation of thoughts and ideas; intelligence has to do with activating knowledge into something useable within a system that is charged with meaning. He talks about intelligence has been defined for us through the eyes of Euro-American psychological and scientific culture. He says that we cannot be intelligent, act or think intelligently unless we are able to attach our Indigenous concepts, our way of being and Indigenous knowledge to our connectedness and relationship with everything else.

The planning stage is the first essential step required for optimum learning to occur, yet it is often skipped entirely or given superficial attention. A much too common consequence is one that Gran Wiggins refers to as "aimless activity" and "superficial coverage." Students expect and appreciate learning relevant knowledge and skills that are transferable; your efforts to improve learning will not go unnoticed.

An interdisciplinary approach was used to explore contemporary theories of literary criticism relevant to the study of Aboriginal literature, including an approach through colonial and post-colonial discourse and the growing body of theory and criticism written by North American Aboriginals; to incorporate literary theory and pedagogical knowledge of content into the development of Aboriginal literature units FOR secondary school classrooms; and to incorporate these new interpretive and pedagogical understandings into the practices of two secondary English teachers using North American Aboriginal literature in their classrooms.

That in the contemporary world, its unquestionable superiority as an organizational principle of governance remains for most an unchallenged view. In the conscience of people it has come to mean the choice between constitutional and arbitrary authority, empowerment and marginalization, freedom and thralldom, voice and voicelessness. Thus as a global phenomenon, the general idea of democracy, both as theory and praxis has become inestimable seductive to practically all peoples and countries. With the exception of one or two, most governments and ruling parties claim that they are running democratic societies. Indeed, this has been the case for most of the last 50 years, or at least for as long as I can remember. URL: http://www.lins.no/db/pdf/Jubileum%20Prahs%20paper.pdf.

The focus is on the learners and the content of discussion. The content and learners should be seen as an entity and inter-related. Some of the important elements used are problem posing, "culture circle" (or discussion group), "codification" (bringing the realities and situation of the culture and world into the classroom in the form of pictures, diagrams, photographs, drawings, etc.), "praxis" (action-reflection action-action process/cycle) and "dialogue" 2 way communication between the teacher and learners). These elements are incorporated into a theoretical framework, which leads to a procedure to be used in the classroom. A sample of this procedure is demonstrated.

These topics have been the focus of the Elderlaw discussion in Canada, and all have been the subject of reform initiatives in provincial legislatures across the country. This paper does not address health care and access to health care, although these issues are closely connected to many of the legal issues affecting Aboriginal elders (abuse and neglect for example).

Indigenous Elders, as a source of Indigenous Knowledge provide intergenerational leadership through the sharing of their teachings, oral histories and experiences. For this study I examined the culturally relevant Indigenous leadership program that is offered with the non-credit Longhouse Leadership Program (LLP) at the First Nations House of Learning (FNHL) at the University of British Columbia (UBC), taught by Elders, cultural leaders and educators. Through the telling of oral histories, nine Elders and cultural educators who work with the FNHL community shared their views on Indigenous leadership presenting historical examples of Indigenous leadership and recommending pedagogy for the current Longhouse leadership program. Their cultural teachings are resources for Indigenous leadership pedagogy that is transformative. The Elders' teachings on Indigenous leadership are transformational because they identify and deconstruct colonial structures and support the self determined leadership goals of local communities. The teachings are: culture as a support for individuals, families and communities; leadership as a gift-step forward demonstrating community responsibilities; and holistic pedagogy all which is transformational when delivered within an anti racism education framework. These teachings are consistent with those found more generally in the academic literature, emphasizing leadership grounded in the cultural teachings that supports living Aboriginal communities and coalition building for change.

It places the discussion of research ethics in the context of cultural world view and the struggle for self-determination as peoples and nations. It affirms that Aboriginal Peoples have a right to participate as principals or partners in research that generates knowledge affecting their culture, identity and well-being. To provide context and rationale for the principles presented, the paper outlines features of the current public dialogue on research ethics, how ethics are framed in Aboriginal cultures, and how Aboriginal perceptions of reality and right behavior clash with norms prevailing in western research. Current initiatives of Aboriginal communities and nations, research granting councils and institutions to establish ethical guidelines for Aboriginal research are highlighted as evidence that the development of workable ethical regimes is already well begun.

NWC's workplace literacy program was selected for an award because of the improvements it brought, not only to employees, but also to the communities where they live and work. The program's primary objective was to determine the best approach to closing the gap between the skills workers require and those they possess. Its enabling objectives were as follows: (1) use detailed training plans to increase employees' technical knowledge through workplace education and training; (2) overcome the barriers that prevent Aboriginal employees from advancing into management positions; (3) make learning accessible to various literacy levels by offering a variety of training methods and using physically and emotionally centered learning; (4) address all areas of literacy, including interpersonal, technical, and enabling skills that increase overall employability; and (5) promote continuous learning and upgrading through educational institutions by offering tuition reimbursements and recognizing achievements. The NWC workplace literacy program was credited with improving employees' motivation and productivity, reducing turnover costs, and enabling more Aboriginal employees than ever to advance to managerial positions.
