Indigenous language

To begin with, this course has greatly enhanced the depth of my understanding about Indigenous culture and education. Personally, there are numerous aspects of the curriculum that have intrigued me. With that being said, one element of the course content that I found significant was the lesson done in week 9 about post-secondary education for Indigenous people. Unfortunately, the number of Aboriginal students completing secondary school and participating in post-secondary education is…

Aboriginal culture is one of the few civilisations that have continued on tens of thousands of years of consistent beliefs, values and traditions up until present day.
