A critical ethnography of the Native Education Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Written mainly by First Nations and Metis people, this book examines current issues in First Nations education.

How the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and other human rights legislation apply to education.

This inspiring volume elaborates a new inclusive vision of a global and national order and articulates new approaches for protecting, healing, and restoring long-oppressed peoples, and for respecting their cultures and languages.

Documents the significant gains in recent years in fulfilling this promise of education – the heart of the struggle of Aboriginal peoples to regain control over their lives as communities and nations.

The authors show how an innovative program – an unexpected partnership between an Aboriginal tribal council and the University of Victoria’s School of Child and Youth Care – has strengthened community capacity to design and deliver culturally appropriate programs to support young children’s development.
