Drumming Our Way Home: Intergenerational learning, teaching, and Indigenous ways of knowing has two primary purposes: First, our stories can assist educators, policymakers, and the public to understand the effects of our embodied lived experiences as Indigenous people, especially residential school trauma and its intergenerational legacies. By understanding our lives, educators can more effectively intervene in cycles of marginalization and cultural alienation and policymakers may come to a better understanding of how policy impacts Indigenous lives. Second, the book will help other Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples of all backgrounds as they embark on their own identity journey.
