Geography Thesis (M.A.)--University of Guelph, 2017.
Examines the concept of Aboriginal education as seen by four urban, inner-city elementary school principals and how they see it being put into practice in their schools.
Synopsis of keynote speeches and presentations of conference held March 7-9, 2007, Edmonton, Alberta. Includes summaries of six animation theme bundles, promising practices, participant commentaries, and analysis of problems and prospects of Aboriginal learning in the future.
Contends that in addition to recruitment and retention of Aboriginal practitioners, educators must examine indicators that define membership and address the myth of equal opportunity.
