Yet their perspectives about what constitutes effective pedagogical practices are often underappreciated. This qualitative study explores the different ways that nine educators of Indigenous youth constructed their pedagogical practice based on key features of Indigenous education and their cultural strengths. Three themes emerged from the study that reinforce the significance of (1) Indigenous content knowledge integration in school curriculum, (2) student and teacher relationships, and (3) educators’ reflective thinking. The implications of this study for teacher education highlight the need for all educators to be conscious of what constitutes culturally revitalizing/sustaining pedagogy from the perspectives of Indigenous educators. Finally, the findings point to the need for more research on teaching Indigenous youth using Indigenous-centered pedagogy for contemporary practice.","PeriodicalId":90572,"journal":{"name":"Journal of American Indian education","volume":"61 1","pages":"27 - 3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41720954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indigenous Studies is a fought-for space on campus to properly represent the perspectives, processes, and communities of Indigenous peoples, for the benefit of Indigenous communities, organizations, and interests. Unfortunately, the extent to which IS fulfills its mission is ambiguous due to the wide variation in IS program composition, the broad scope of the discipline’s topical foci, and the lack of parameters or core ingredients that distinguish it from other disciplines. In this article, we describe the process and results of a content analysis of IS websites in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The goal of this study was to identify the major features of IS internationally and to show how IS programs vary in their embodiment of those major features. After an extensive coding process, we ran an exploratory factor analysis on the quantitative codings to derive a five-factor model of IS. Accordingly, IS included (1) Indigenous methodologies, (2) Indigenous community member involvement, (3) Indigenous Ways of Knowing and Doing, (4) Indigenous languages, and (5) Indigenous student community. How much these factors were emphasized depended on the country, institution type, and level of degree offered, controlling for website complexity and aesthetics. Our findings show that there is common ground across IS programs internationally, according to their websites, but that some countries (e.g., Canada), institution types (e.g., tribal colleges), and degree programs (e.g., undergraduate) reflect these factors more than others.","PeriodicalId":90572,"journal":{"name":"Journal of American Indian education","volume":"61 1","pages":"50 - 84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46916031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A version of this article was presented as the closing keynote. Arizona citizens represent a range of opinions, but a hostile climate has been created by public discourses and legislative actions that target immigrants, privilege the English language, defund public education, ignore research findings and evidence in favor of ideology, and flout the Constitutional allocation of powers to distinct sovereigns. Analysis of mythologies that mask reality demonstrates how powerful forces narrowly define a safety zone of acceptable cultural and linguistic difference, relegating most difference to a danger zone where it can be marginalized or criminalized.

This navigation reveals how the re-centering of Indigenous paradigms can lead to transformative praxis. It also shows how the maintenance of settler colonial paradigms can lead to painful silencing experiences. To better understand how students process this drastic shift in paradigms, the article adapts Lomawaima and McCarty's (2006) Safety Zone Theory (SZT) to the micro level by introducing the terms internal safety zone and environmental safety zone. The internal/environmental safety zones explore how students' internal identities, motivations, and engagements interact with and are impacted by thentwo very different academic classroom environments. By focusing on how students internally process their cultural identities and knowledges in relation to these classroom environments, their navigation reveals how schooling spaces can work to validate — as well as invalidate — students' identities, knowledges, and lived experiences. It also speaks to the significances that moments of in/validation can have upon students.","PeriodicalId":90572,"journal":{"name":"Journal of American Indian education","volume":"53 1","pages":"42 - 62"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44319833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
