First Nations Pedagogy

http://firstnationspedagogy.com/links.html

First Nations Pedagogy is a site authored by June Kaminski, BSN MSN PhD(c) who is a Métis woman from Anishinabe and European bloodlines. The purpose of this site is to increase awareness of First Nations pedagogy (i.e., curriculum, education, Aboriginal ways of knowing and being) to assist professionals in the development of appropriate plans for Aboriginal people.

June’s site is divided into several sections that are briefly outlined in a sitemap. A portfolio section contains work completed by June Kaminski that is related to her site’s purpose; she also offers services in pedagogy & curriculum development, health & well-being planning, technology and informatics technology, and graphics and web development. A section entitled Theory is under development but is dedicated to the principles regarding First Nations pedagogy, education and way of life. June includes biographical information and the site’s mission, goals, and vision. This site includes a section called Curriculum that is also under development, but will contain information about self-governed educational planning, incorporation of First Nations pedagogy, e-learning curriculum development, and virtual health education development. June also includes contact information and a section of links to online resources dedicated to furthering knowledge of aboriginal ways of knowing and learning.
