Decolonizing Education Through Indigenous Traditional Knowledge (DETITK)

This webinar from Literacy Nova Scotia's 'Professional Development Webinar Series for Practitioners: Navigating Challenge and Change' provides a short look into what we as educators can do to create more diverse and accepting spaces for our students from multiple intersectional identities, backgrounds, and cultures. It is a Mi’kmaw view into a pan-Indigenous issue that still has resounding effects on those peoples who have endured colonization through outside forces, erasing their cultural, linguistic, spiritual and emotional identities. Tammy will discuss colonization, decolonization and anti-colonization, and what, as allies and teachers in a western institution, we can do to open the doors to learning by those who have been further marginalized through educational institutions. Tammy Williams MA WGS is a Mi’kmaw grandmother from Sipekneka’tik First Nation and is the Education Programs Manager at the Mi’kmaw Native Friendship Centre, a professor at Saint Mary’s University teaching Indigenous Culture, Religion, Spirituality and Social Justice, and conducts guest-lectures at various other universities on cultural safety and decolonization. Returning to school as a mature student, she completed her Masters in Women and Gender Studies, with a focus on Indigenous matriarchal societies and research methodologies. Her thesis focused on decolonizing research through the development of a new Indigenous research paradigm using a Two-Eyed Seeing approach, with storytelling (story-act) and meaning-making methods.
