Decolonizing Knowledge and Indigenous Education : Perspectives from Elementary French Immersion Teachers
This research paper was completed for a Master of Education program. As I go along looking for sources for my own research paper, it is very evident that the literature out there is limited. I may have to change topics or re-orient my focus. Nonetheless I have enjoyed reading and listening to what I can find. This paper looks at how the Ministry of Education of Ontario has made Indigenous education a priority, however not within the French Immersion education programs. Three French Immersion teachers are interviewed and asked about how they can integrate Indigenous perspectives in their practice. One of the main findings is the need for teachers to move beyond Eurocentric stereotypes about Indigenous people.
