Responding to the Needs of Post-secondary Aboriginal Education: The Development of the Indigenous Leadership and Community Development Program
From: Aboriginal Canada Revisited
$2.00
Aboriginal peoples in Canada are presently engaged in a process of decolonization, in the restructuring of their societies through self-government and in the reaffirmation of their knowledge and worldview within the discourse of mainstream society. Central to this project is the need to reform the formal post-secondary education system in a way that will address these goals and aspirations.
