INDIGENIZATION

1. Indigenization is a collaborative process of naturalizing Indigenous

intent, interactions, and processes and making them evident to
transform spaces, places, and hearts. In the context this includes
Indigenous perspectives and approaches.

2. Indigenous/Aboriginal Context

Indigenous learning addresses the whole person, encompassing the mental, physical,

spiritual, and emotional capabilities of that person in relation to all living things. This
unified vision is in contrast to the western focus on an analytic approach, and the
fragmentation of concepts within discrete disciplines

ways of knowing.

1. We recognize and support the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action and the
U.N. Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. We acknowledge the
educational role we have in building common ground between Indigenous and
non-Indigenous peoples. We believe that the education system must be
transformed to reject the racism embedded in colonial systems of education and
treat Indigenous knowledge systems with equal respect. We advocate
reconciliation through the integration of native inhabitants perspective and
experiences.

Indigenization in Education: Key to self
Sufficiency and strategic Capability

Abstract
Indigenization is a very broad concept. It can have various permutations and
manifestations. In our present descriptive analysis, we are going to analyze
indigenization through the prism of education and inculcation of values. It is to be
noted that, the structure of education system in India is based on the foundations
laid in colonial times. Since no radical reform has taken place in the same, it is
pertinent for academia to look at the efficacy of the present educational system in
meeting the needs and aspirations of present generations in particular and
society at large. In addition to that, in the backdrop of leveraging demographic
dividend, provides another important reason for academia to probe how relevant
the western mode of education is to multilayered, multi-cultural, multilingual
Indian society which has no dearth of indigenous Education system to dwell
upon. Our paper, in no way criticizes western mode of education, on the other
hand we try to analyze out, how relevant archaic colonial structure of education is
to meet the needs and demands of Indian Society and how revamping the same
can build the strategic capability of our nation.

TEACHING AND LEARNING

Indigenization
Indigenization is a process of naturalizing Indigenous knowledge systems and making
them evident to transform spaces, places, and hearts. In the context of post-secondary
education, this involves bringing Indigenous knowledge and approaches together with
Western knowledge systems. This benefits not only Indigenous students but all
students, teachers, and community members involved or impacted by Indigenization.
