Taking a new and innovative angle on social work, this book seeks
to remedy the lack of holistic perspectives currently used in
Western social work practice by exploring Indigenous and other
culturally diverse understandings and experiences of healing. This
book examines six core areas of healing through a holistic lens
that is grounded in a decolonizing perspective. Situating
integrative healing within social work education and theory, the
book takes an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from social
memory and historical trauma, contemplative traditions,
storytelling, healing literatures, integrative health, and the
traditional environmental knowledge of Indigenous Peoples. In
exploring issues of water, creative expression, movement,
contemplation, animals, and the natural world in relation to social
work practice, the book will appeal to all scholars, practitioners,
and community members interested in decolonization and Indigenous
studies.
For Indigenous Minds Only features Indigenous scholars, writers,
and activists who have collaborated for the creation of a sequel to
For Indigenous Eyes Only (SAR Press, 2005). The title reflects an
understanding that decolonizing actions must begin in the mind, and
that creative, consistent decolonised thinking shapes and empowers
the brain, which in turn provides a major prime for positive
change. Included in this book are discussions of global collapse,
what to consider in returning to a land-based existence,
demilitarisation for imperial purposes and re-militarisation for
Indigenous purposes, survival strategies for tribal prisoners,
moving beyond the nation-state model, a land-based educational
model, personal decolonization, decolonisation strategies for youth
in custody, and decolonising gender roles. As with For Indigenous
Eyes Only, the authors do not intend to provide universal solutions
for problems stemming from centuries of colonialism. Rather, they
hope to facilitate and encourage critical thinking skills while
offering recommendations for fostering community discussions and
plans for purposeful community action. For Indigenous Minds Only
will serve an important need within Indigenous communities for
years to come.

Riding on the success of Indigenous Social Work Around the World,
this book provides case studies to further scholarship on
decolonization, a major analytical and activist paradigm among many
of the world's Indigenous Peoples, including educators, tribal
leaders, activists, scholars, politicians, and citizens at the
grassroots level. Decolonization seeks to weaken the effects of
colonialism and create opportunities to promote traditional
practices in contemporary settings. Establishing language and
cultural programs; honouring land claims, teaching Indigenous
history, science, and ways of knowing; self-esteem programs,
celebrating ceremonies, restoring traditional parenting approaches,
tribal rites of passage, traditional foods, and helping and healing
using tribal approaches are central to decolonization. These
insights are brought to the arena of international social work
still dominated by western-based approaches. Decolonization draws
attention to the effects of globalization and the universalization
of education, methods of practice, and international 'development'
that fail to embrace and recognize local knowledges and methods. In
this volume, Indigenous and non-Indigenous social work scholars
examine local cultures, beliefs, values, and practices as central
to decolonization. Supported by a growing interest in spirituality
and ecological awareness in international social work, they
interrogate trends, issues, and debates in Indigenous social work
theory, practice methods, and education models including a section
on Indigenous research approaches. The diversity of perspectives,
decolonizing methodologies, and the shared struggle to provide
effective professional social work interventions is reflected in
the international nature of the subject matter and in the mix of
contributors who write from their contexts in different countries
and cultures, including Australia, Canada, Cuba, Japan, Jordan,
Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa, and the USA.
This book presents the Transformational Indigenous Praxis Model
(TIPM), an innovative framework for promoting critical
consciousness toward decolonization efforts among educators. The
TIPM challenges readers to examine how even the most well intended
educators are complicit in reproducing ethnic stereotypes, racist
actions, deficit-based ideology, and recolonization. Drawing from
decades of collaboration with teachers and school leaders serving
Indigenous children and communities, this volume will help
educators better support the development of their students'
critical thinking skills. Representing a holistic balance, the text
is organized in four sections: Birth-Grade 12 and Community
Education, Teacher Education, Higher Education, and Educational
Leadership. Unsettling Settler-Colonial Education centers the needs
of teachers, children, families, and communities that are currently
engaged in public education and who deserve an improved experience
today, while also committing to more positive Indigenous
futurities.Book Features: Introduces the TIPM as a structure that
supports educators in decolonizing and indigenizing their
practices. Provides examples of how pathway-making across a variety
of settings takes shape on the TIPM continuum. Highlights a diverse
group of authors who are making major contributions to the
transformation agendas of Indigenous knowledge and ways of knowing.
Includes a brief summary of the TIPM dimensions with examples of
the challenges that educators face as they expand their critical
consciousness toward decolonization. Follows Native oral traditions
by sharing lessons, research, and personal lived experience.
Identifies the deficit ideological underpinnings that frame
Indigenous students' school experiences. Employs a metaphor of wave
jumping to illustrate how educators working to decolonize their
practice can gain forward momentum with time and energy even while
facing resistance. Provides a methodology to promote healing and
cultural restoration of Indigenous peoples.

Recognizing an urgent need for Indigenous liberation strategies,
Indigenous intellectuals met to create a book with hands-on
suggestions and activities to enable Indigenous communities to
decolonize themselves. The authors begin with the belief that
Indigenous Peoples have the power, strength, and intelligence to
develop culturally specific decolonization strategies for their own
communities and thereby systematically pursue their own liberation.
These scholars and writers demystify the language of colonization
and decolonization to help Indigenous communities identify useful
concepts, terms, and intellectual frameworks in their struggles
toward liberation and self-determination. This handbook covers a
wide range of topics, including Indigenous governance, education,
language, oral tradition, repatriation, images and stereo-types,
and truth-telling. It aims to facilitate critical thinking while
offering recommendations for fostering community discussions and
plans for meaningful community action.
