Compulsory school and cognitive imperialism: A case for cognitive justice and reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples

2018

Battiste, M., & Youngblood Henderson, J.

Description

The authors argue that compulsory education laws for Indigenous children based on Eurocentric knowledge systems have contributed to cultural genocide and intergenerational trauma, and negatively affects their overall success outcomes for themselves and their self-determining communities. Decolonizing the educational model and indigenizing compulsory education may generate better educational systems for Indigenous children.
