M4. P5 – Worldviews

Western and Indigenous Worldviews

This website discusses worldviews of Indigenous peoples and Westerners. One comparison, is the view on truth. The Indigenous view on truth is that there can be many as one’s personal experiences can dictate what is true. While the western view is that there can only be one truth. Not surprisingly, one of these worldviews is dominant in the education system. As I read through the comparisons, I get the sense that many non-Indigenous peoples would agree with the Indigenous worldviews yet they probably don’t give much thought to accepting the western belief.
