Ethical environmental, community, and research engagement in times of crisis: Reflections from Cayambe, Ecuador
We use a critical incident from Indigenous educational fieldwork on global environmental shift with Kichwa-Indigenous communities in, Ecuador. A community leader's question, 'Who will replace you?' becomes a point of entry to reflect on the many dimensions of community engagement in interdisciplinary weather systems change research. We examine how guesthood and mink'a (obligatory community work) help reframe the roles and responsibilities of rese…
Kawsaypaq (for life): Indigenous research for the freedom to become
This article is emboldened by two queries that Indigenous researchers confront—first, of what use are conversations and debates about decolonial research apart from our communities, and second, how do we frame and practice responsibility to places and peoples through research that is energized by Indigenous autochthony? Focusing on research methodologies that are informed by Quechua knowledge, I discuss what Indigenous research might mean for the…
Beyond sustainability: Indigenous Knowledge Systems for locally and globally renewing earth relations
How Indigenous Scholarship Changes the Field: Pluriversal Appreciation, Decolonial Aspirations, and Comparative Indigenous Education
As a project of state political and economic agendas, the schooling of Indigenous peoples has historically tended to reflect everyone else’s values, standards, and objectives but our own. However, for Indigenous communities, education is part of an array of long-term self-determination strategies that serve Indigenous autonomy, which is undergirded by Indigenous knowledge systems that encompass the political, economic, environmental, health, soci…
Rikch’arisun, sayarisun, k’ancharisun: Indigenous knowledge systems and research for planetary beauty
What are beautiful Indigenous communities? How are we as original communities good for each other and our planet? This article asserts that these kinds of questions undergird Indigenous research methodologies as more than research paradigms and as life-sustaining worldviews that produce research designs that engage processes of healing and helpfulness and that reflect Indigenous pluriversal realities. Anchored by Indigenous knowledge systems, Ind…
Small Indigenous Schools: Indigenous Resurgence and Education in the Americas
Based on Indigenous education research in Canada, the U.S., and Peru, small Indigenous school founders and educators reveal visions and tensions emerging through commitment to community-based Indigenous schooling. Major themes encompass connections to histories, relationships with the environment, and navigation of local and state pressures. Anchoring each school are efforts to protect Indigenous lands and cultural practices, and the article asse…
Beyond community engagement: Centering research through Indigenous epistemologies and peoplehood
Indigenous research as discourse and practice has challenged researchers worldwide to foreground our work with clear attention to knowledge hierarchies and power inequities, ontologies and epistemologies, and critical ethical considerations. Yet, in the recent decade, it is not the rise of Indigenous research agendas but community-engaged scholarship that has been the focus of institutionalization at universities in the USA and elsewhere. In this…
Indigenous knowledges as vital contributions to sustainability
Comparative Indigenous education research (Cier): Indigenous epistemologies and comparative education methodologies
Indigenous core values and education: Community beliefs towards sustaining local knowledge
This article highlights core values linked with Indigenous ways of conceptualizing community and education. In doing so, this work explores Indigenous tensions with restrictive historical policies that have resulted in reconciliation with mainstream education, local perceptions of the need for adaptation, and the convergence of multiple epistemological survival strategies. Drawing from narratives shared by Pueblo Indian peoples participating in m…
Indigenous Teachers and Learners: Higher Education and Social Justice
Reflecting on our experiences within a program of graduate education in Justice Studies, we offer a discussion of how building and maintaining an iterative teacher-learner stance results in strengthening practices of Indigenous education toward social justice. Through this reflection, we discuss the tenets in Indigenous higher education practices that contribute to multiple approaches toward social justice among Indigenous educators, community-ba…

"You're Trying Hard, but It's Still Going to Die": Indigenous Youth and Language Tensions in Peru and the United States
This article discusses emerging research on youth and Indigenous languages. Based on a comparative and international Indigenous education study in Peru and the United States, the intersection between Indigenous community spaces, schools, and languages is examined. Given global trends of Indigenous language loss, comparative research provides the opportunity for exploration of these challenges in distinct settings where youth can help redefine loc…
Indigenous knowledge and education from the Quechua community to school: Beyond the formal/non-formal dichotomy
In this article, we propose to approach Indigenous education beyond the formal/non-formal dichotomy. We argue that there is a critical need to conscientiously include Indigenous knowledge in education processes from the school to the community; particularly, when formal systems exclude Indigenous cultures and languages. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in Quechua schools and communities, our examination of policy and teachers in the formal setting…
Transforming education, transforming society: The co-construction of critical peace education and Indigenous education
This article seeks to contribute to the link between critical peace education and Indigenous education from an Indigenous international and comparative education perspective. The article first reviews the marginalization of critical peace education and Indigenous education. By bringing forward areas of common interest between peace education and Indigenous education, the need for specific strategies involving mutual exchange and resulting in co-c…
