Module 2: Stereotypes and the Commodification of Indigenous Social Reality
Entry 1: Potlatch as Pedagogy
This book was an informative and inspiring read, written by Sara Davidson and her father, Robert Davidson. I listened to Sara speak and she spoke about her father who authored the book through his storytelling and was given author credits for his oral contributions. The book takes the principle of the Haida culture and presents a model of learning through the lens of the Haids culture. The result is a holistic approach to education.
This book will provide some ideas for my research project of weaving Indigenous easy sof knowing, doing, and being into the curriculum I teach.
