Module 2 Weblog#5

The more information I came across the more I am forced to realise that I will end up proving the opposite of what I set out to prove in my investigation. I planned to see what educational policies have been implemented and by means of a literature search make some recommendations for indigenous education in my state. Now I am aware of how little knowledge I have and I am ashamed of how paternalistic my ideas were. This site that I visited and the previous articles I have read have shown me how I must give up my pre-conceived ideas and learn to listen to what each indigenous group has to say. I have learned that each group has its own identity and it is not possible to make blanket judgments.  This site is in English and French, but not in any of the aboriginal languages. A month ago I would have been impressed, but now I am more critical of sites that are written about, but not for First Nation people.
