Aboriginal education : fulfilling the promise / edited by Marlene Brant Castellano, Lunne Davis and Louise Lahache.

Education is a promise of self-determination to Aboriginal people - to regain control over their lives as communities and nations. Education will instruct the people in ways to live long and well, respecting the wisdom of their ancestors and fulfilling their responsibilities in the circle of life. This book talks about Aboriginal philosophies in teaching methods, program design and institutional development.

Aboriginal education occurs in an intensely political terrain consisting of homogenizing pressures of a globalizing society making it increasingly difficult to maintain the distinctiveness of Aboriginal culture.
