The diversity and Inclusion movement in corporations and higher
education has mostly fallen short of its most authentic goals. This
is because it relies upon the dominant worldview that created and
creates the problems it attempts to address. Rediscovering and
applying our original Indigenous worldview offers a remedy that can
bring forth a deeper and broader respect for diversity, and a
different way to understand and honor it. This book offers a
transformative learning opportunity for preserving diverse
environments at every level, one that may be a matter of human
survival.
Point of Departure offers a practical metacognitive and
transformational learning strategy for human surviving and
thriving. Using five foundational and interactive Indigenous
worldview beliefs that contrast sharply with our dominant worldview
ones, everyone can reclaim the original instructions for living on
Earth. Without the resulting change in consciousness that can
emerge from this learning approach, no modern technologies can save
us. The five foundational Indigenous precepts relate to a radically
different understanding about: (1) Trance?based learning (2)
Courage and Fearlessness (3) Community Oriented Self?Authorship (4)
Sacred Communications (5) Nature as Ultimate Teacher.
For the first time in educational publishing, Teaching Truly offers
K-16 teachers course-specific guidelines for indigenizing
mainstream education. The goal is to facilitate greater educational
integrity and relevance in the classroom now, without waiting for
more "reforms" to policy, standards or curricula in general.
Incorporating reality-based teaching common in traditional
Indigenous learning cultures, each chapter first exposes
educational hegemony, including that existing within the new
"common core standards", and then offers alternative, time-tested
perspectives and exercises to counter and/or counter-balance such
hegemony. Addressing eight common subject areas, the material can
be adapted for different grade levels and can be applied to other
mainstream courses.

The Authentic Dissertation is a road map for students who want to
make their dissertation more than a series of hoop-jumping
machinations that cause them to lose the vitality and
meaningfulness of their research. Students and tutors are presented
with practical guidance for the kind of alternative dissertations
that many educators believe are needed to move Doctoral and
Master's level work beyond the limitations that currently stifle
authentic contributions for a better world. Drawing on his
Cherokee/Creek ancestry and the Raramuri shamans of Mexico the
author explores how research can regain its humanist core and find
its true place in the natural order once more. Four Arrows provides
a degree of "credibility" that will help graduate students
legitimize their ideas in the eyes of more conservative university
committees. This inspiring book will also help academics who
sincerely want to see these alternative forms but are concerned
about the rigor of "alternative" dissertation research and
presentation. The featured dissertation stories tap into more
diverse perspectives, more authentic experience and reflection, and
more creative abilities. They are, in essence, spiritual
undertakings that Honour the centrality of the researcher's voice,
experience, creativity and authority Focus more on important
questions than on research methodologies per se Reveal virtues
(generosity, patience, courage, respect, humility, fortitude, etc.)
Regard the people's version of reality The goal of this book is not
to replace the historical values of academic research in the
western tradition, but to challenge some of these values and offer
alternative ideas that stem from different, sometimes opposing
values.
