Indigenous Knowledge and Navigating the Rising Tides of Climate Change and Other Existential Threats
Indigenous people whose way of life remains closely connected to their traditional lands are experiencing additional existential threats to culture and language, now exacerbated by climate change. Yet, Traditional Ecological Knowledge is being recognized as a potential contributor in addressing this crisis. Five case vignettes presented in this paper illustrate the depth of resistance, resilience, and adaptation demonstrated by Indigenous people …
Triarchically-Based Instruction and Assessment of Sixth-Grade Mathematics in a Yup'ik Cultural Setting in Alaska
A study was conducted among sixth-grade Alaskan students from urban and rural communities to test the efficacy of applying the triarchic theory of human intelligence and culturally-based teaching strategies to mathematics curriculum. Students were taught a unit on the mathematics concepts of area and perimeter in one of two ways: conventional instruction (primarily textbook based) and culturally-based, triarchic curriculum (involving analytical, …

Language, power, and pedagogy
This article describes a collaborative research and school improvement project with the village of Manokotak, the local school district, and the University of Alaska Fairbanks. This collaborative project was ostensibly about the language of instruction, English and/or Yup'ik.

These teacher groups have created zones of safety in which resi…

This case study is part of an ongoing collaborative research project with Yup'ik teachers in southwest Alaska. On the surface, this lesson appears to be an art lesson, but a cultural interpretation suggests it is about subsistence and survival. Implicit in this case for minority education is the importance of adapting social interactions, knowledge, and values toward the minority culture as one possible means for improving schooling
