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.
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

the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
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.
1. We adhere and respect the Indigenous Peoples
Rights stipulated in the IP Rights Act Law
Republic Act 8371 where the four bundles of
rights of Indigenous Peoples are clearly stated,
the DepEd implementation of D.O no. 62 series
of 2011and our participations to festivals and
other activities the are in relation to Indigenous
gatherings promulgated by our government
nationally, locally and by clans properly
coordinated with concerned agencies and
native organizations.
 
Indigenization in Education: Key to self
Sufficiency and strategic Capability

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.
