Indigenous people are pushing back against more than 200 years of colonisation and rejecting being seen by the academy as 'subjects' of research. A quiet revolution is taking place among many ...Indigenous communities across Australia, a revolution insisting that we have control over our languages and our cultural knowledge – for our languages to be a part of our future, not our past. We are reclaiming our right to determine how linguistic research takes place in our communities and how we want to engage with the academy in the future. This book is an essential guide for non-Indigenous linguists wanting to engage more deeply with Indigenous communities and form genuinely collaborative research partnerships. It fleshes out and redefines ethical linguistic research and work with Indigenous people and communities, with application beyond linguistics. By reassessing, from an Indigenous point of view, what it means to ‘save’ an endangered language, Something’s Gotta Change shows how linguistic research can play a positive role in keeping (maintaining) or putting (reclaiming) endangered languages on our tongues.
Der Band unternimmt vor dem Hintergrund von Diskussionen um globale und postkoloniale Anliegen den Versuch, das Verständnis von Bildung und Schule neu zu justieren. Dies geschieht einerseits durch ...grundlagentheoretische Orientierungen, andererseits mit Hilfe von interkulturell-vergleichenden Fragestellungen durch die Auseinandersetzung mit aktuellen Herausforderungen. Dabei werden auch Konstellationen in den USA und Kanada beleuchtet. Die Beiträge bieten so wichtige Impulse sowohl zur Schulpädagogik als auch zur Allgemeinen Pädagogik.
The teaching of history and culture of indigenous peoples in Brazil has experienced significant advances in recent years driven mainly by its obligation defined by law 11,645 / 08. It is undeniable ...that efforts have been directed by teachers and others involved in basic education, in order to provide quality education that is able to meet the challenge of education for the exercise of diversity in its relationship with indigenous peoples. Some challenges, however, still jut on the horizon of these professionals. In this article specifically we discussed the importance of overcoming a "gap" in existing teaching materials of history to the public elementary school today, namely the little attention given to historical processes engendered in the Brazilian republican period involving the various indigenous ethnic groups. Without addressing these issues, the history of education and the culture of these people in our schools can not scale and discuss their different historical and contemporary demands.

Ka Māno Wai is dedicated to the mo'olelo (stories) of fourteen
esteemed kumu loea (expert teachers) who are knowledge keepers of
cultural ways. Kamana'opono M. Crabbe, Linda Kaleo'okalani Paik,
Eric ...Michael Enos, Claire Ku'uleilani Hughes, Sarah Patricia
'Ilialoha Ayat Keahi, Jonathan Kay Kamakawiwo'ole Osorio, Lynette
Ka'opuiki Paglinawan, Sharon Leina'ala Bright, Keola
Kawai'ula'iliahi Chan, Charles "Sonny" Kaulukukui III, Jerry
Walker, Gordon "'Umi" Kai, Melody Kapilialoha MacKenzie, and Kekuni
Blaisdell are renowned authorities in specialty areas of cultural
practice that draw from ancestral 'ike (knowledge). They are also
our mentors, colleagues, friends, and family. Their stories educate
us about maintaining and enhancing our well-being through ancestral
cosmography and practices such as mana (spiritual, supernatural, or
divine power), mālama kūpuna (care for elders and ancestors), 'āina
momona (fruitful land and ocean), 'ōlelo Hawai'i (Hawaiian
language), ho'oponopono (conflict resolution), lā'au lapa'au
(Hawaiian medicinal plants), lomilomi (massage), and lua (Hawaiian
art of fighting). The trio of authors' own dedicated cultural work
in the community and their deep respect for Hawaiian worldviews and
storytelling created the space for the intimate, illuminating
conversations with the kumu loea that serve as the foundation of
the larger mo'olelo told in this book. With appreciation for the
relational aspect of Native Hawaiian culture that links people,
spirituality, and the environment, beautifully nuanced photographic
portraits of the kumu loea were taken in places uniquely meaningful
to them. The title of this book, Ka Māno Wai: The Source of Life,
has multilayered meanings: in the same manner that water sustains
life, ancestral practices retain history, preserve ways of being,
inform identity, and provide answers for health and social justice.
This collection of life stories celebrates and perpetuates kanaka
values and reveals ancestral solutions to challenges confronting
present and future generations. Nourishing connections to the
past-as Ka Māno Wai does-helps to build a future of wellness. All
who are committed to 'ike, healing, and community will find
inspiration and guidance in these varied yet intertwined
legacies.
This volume explores typological variation within nonverbal predication in Amazonian languages. Using abundant data, generally from original and extensive fieldwork on under-described languages, it ...presents a far more detailed picture of nonverbal predication constructions than previously published grammatical descriptions. On the one hand, it addresses the fact that current typologies of nonverbal predication are less developed than those of verbal predication; on the other, it provides a wealth of new data and analyses of Amazonian languages, which are still poorly represented in existing typologies. Several contributions offer historical insights, either reconstructing the sources of innovative nonverbal predicate constructions, or describing diachronic pathways by which constructions used for nonverbal predication spread to other functions in the grammar. The introduction provides a modern typological overview, and also proposes a new diachronic typology to explain how distinct types of nonverbal predication arise.
Spanning Indigenous settings across six continents, this book examines the multifaceted language reclamation work underway by Indigenous peoples worldwide. The authors foreground Indigenous ...knowledges and perspectives, highlighting the decolonizing and liberatory aims of contemporary Indigenous language movements inside and outside of schools.
From the 1880s to 1940, French colonial officials, businessmen and soldiers, returning from overseas postings, brought home wooden masks and figures from Africa. This imperial and cultural power-play ...is the jumping-off point for a story that travels from sub-Saharan Africa to Parisian art galleries; from the pages of fashion magazines, through the doors of the Louvre, to world fairs and international auction rooms; into the apartments of avant-garde critics and poets; to the streets of Harlem, and then full-circle back to colonial museums and schools in Dakar, Bamako, and Abidjan. John Warne Monroe guides us on this journey, one that goes far beyond the world of Picasso, Matisse, and Braque, to show how the Modernist avant-garde and the European colonial project influenced each other in profound and unexpected ways. Metropolitan Fetish reveals the complex trajectory of African material culture in the West and provides a map of that passage, tracing the interaction of cultural and imperial power. A broad and far-reaching history of the French reception of African art, it brings to life an era in which the aesthetic category of "primitive art" was invented.
This book is a collection of key legal decisions affecting Indigenous Australians, which have been re-imagined so as to be inclusive of Indigenous people’s stories, historical experience, ...perspectives and worldviews.
In this groundbreaking work, Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars have collaborated to rewrite 16 key decisions. Spanning from 1889 to 2017, the judgments reflect the trajectory of Indigenous people’s engagements with Australian law. The collection includes decisions that laid the foundation for the wrongful application of terra nullius and the long disavowal of native title. Contributors have also challenged narrow judicial interpretations of native title, which have denied recognition to Indigenous people who suffered the prolonged impacts of dispossession. Exciting new voices have reclaimed Australian law to deliver justice to the Stolen Generations and to families who have experienced institutional and police racism. Contributors have shown how judicial officers can use their power to challenge systemic racism and tell the stories of Indigenous people who have been dehumanised by the criminal justice system.
The new judgments are characterised by intersectional perspectives which draw on postcolonial, critical race and whiteness theories. Several scholars have chosen to operate within the parameters of legal doctrine. Some have imagined new truth-telling forums, highlighting the strength and creative resistance of Indigenous people to oppression and exclusion. Others have rejected the possibility that the legal system, which has been integral to settler-colonialism, can ever deliver meaningful justice to Indigenous people.
