Opis

This volume highlights the ways that colonization continues to shape Native students’ experiences. By documenting the intelligence, artfulness, and survivance of Native students and educators, the book corrects deficit framings of Indigenous students, inviting educators to examine their own contexts to better support Native students in schools.
