It honours the fact that true learning builds your self-confidence by coming to understand who you really are and living to your full potential. Indigenous thinking honours the reality that there are always two sides to the two sides. There are realities and realities. Learning how they interact is real understanding. We learn through our bodies and spirits as much as through our minds.
Indigenous people recognise that personal power, learning and thinking are expressed through doing.
Therefore, learning the doing is an essential process. It recognises that culture and its reality are invested anew with each generation. Indigenous teaching mirrors thinking back to the learner. The orientation of Indigenous learning flows from expectation, through exchange and context, to application of experience and vision. Copyright 1999 Canadian Aboriginal.
