Inhaltsangabe

A critical and timely collection, Land as Relation introduces readers to an intersectional approach to Indigenous space and land-based education. Indigenous and ally-partnered contributors, from elders to emerging and established scholars, share teachings and scholarship grounded in Indigenous knowledge and philosophy.

These diverse perspectives on Indigenous pedagogies are intersected with content surrounding Indigenous languages, sciences, mathematics, arts, health, and governance. Divided into three parts, this text defines the interrelatedness of global Indigenous land protectors and educators, and the significant impact of Indigenous knowledges, language, and ceremonies on the collective social, spiritual, and physical wellness of all living beings.

Land as Relation demonstrates that Indigenous resistance and renaissance is essential for learners everywhere to understand how a collective notion of land education contributes to walking in harmony and balance, not only for themselves, but for their families, the larger communities that they are a part of, and the world. This collection is an accessible and engaging core resource for undergraduate and graduate students of education, Indigenous studies, geography, and environmental studies.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This unique and timely collection of Indigenous pedagogies offers diverse perspectives connecting universal and intersectional approaches in land-based education. Featuring Indigenous and ally-partnered contributors, including Elders and emerging and established scholars, the teachings within Land as Relation present Indigenous philosophies, knowledges, and practices in Canada and around the globe.

With the aim of promoting a shift in the way we teach and lead young people through principles of sustainability, this engaging text provides real-world examples of how Indigenous land-based pedagogies are delivered in a variety of communities and contexts. Divided into three parts, the authors consider connections and relationships with Land and her inhabitants; the interrelatedness of global Indigenous Land protectors and educators; and the impact of Indigenous knowledges, languages, and ceremonies on the collective social, spiritual, and physical wellness of all living beings. The authors examine Indigenous worldviews, cultures, and traditions embedded within the teaching of languages, sciences, mathematics, arts, health, and governance and demonstrate how an elevation of Indigenous resistance and renaissance is essential for learners everywhere to understand how a collective notion of land-based pedagogy contributes to walking in harmony with Nature. This collection will be an invaluable resource for programs in Indigenous Studies and Education, as well as Sociology, Anthropology, Gender Studies, Geography, Health, and Environmental Studies.
