Empowering Aboriginal Voice in Aboriginal Education

Abstract

This article is a summary pertaining to the importance of teaching our children our history and ways as they relate to our respective territories. It is based on data col­lected from the Onyota'a:ka of the Thames community. The findings of this study show that language and ceremony are important aspects of enhancing voice to nur­ture confidence and creativity of the school children. The voices of Aboriginal peoples need to be encouraged and need to be heard in the school systems that the Aboriginal students attend.
