Western education has often employed the bluntest of instruments in
colonizing indigenous peoples, creating generations caught between
Western culture and their own. Dedicated to the principle that
leadership must come from within the communities to be led, Voices
of Resistance and Renewal applies recent research on local,
culture-specific learning to the challenges of education and
leadership that Native people face. Bringing together both Native
and non-Native scholars who have a wide range of experience in the
practice and theory of indigenous education, editors Dorothy
Aguilera-Black Bear and John Tippeconnic III focus on the
theoretical foundations of indigenous leadership, the application
of leadership theory to community contexts, and the knowledge
necessary to prepare leaders for decolonizing education. The
contributors draw on examples from tribal colleges, indigenous
educational leadership programs, and the latest research in
Canadian First Nation, Hawaiian, and U.S. American Indian
communities. The chapters examine indigenous epistemologies and
leadership within local contexts to show how Native leadership can
be understood through indigenous lenses. Throughout, the authors
consider political influences and educational frameworks that
impede effective leadership, including the standards for success,
the language used to deliver content, and the choice of curricula,
pedagogical methods, and assessment tools. Voices of Resistance and
Renewal provides a variety of philosophical principles that will
guide leaders at all levels of education who seek to encourage
self-determination and revitalization. It has important
implications for the future of Native leadership, education,
community, and culture, and for institutions of learning that have
not addressed Native populations effectively in the past.
