Editorial: Transformational Sites of Indigenous Education

Abstract

The issue of transformation as both an outcome and a practice is crucial to Indigenous communities. To speak of and to pursue meaningful transfor­mation is also to understand that the status quo situation in which In­digenous people are living their lives is often problematic—and that subsequently there is need for urgent change. This is particularly true of the schooling and educational circumstances of most Indigenous peoples who live in colonized states around the Pacific perimeter.
