Episode 1 – Futures of Indigenous Education: Living in Right Relations
In this episode, Dr Jan Hare, a proud Anishinaabe scholar and educator from the M’Chigeeng First Nation, makes a case for a rights-based approach to Indigenous education. She explains what it is, what it would look like, and why educators and education institutions must think about adopting it or an approach like it to successfully promote and uphold Indigenous peoples’ rights in education.
