​What is important about worldview and Indigenous education?

​

Like I’ve stated earlier, a younger version of me, was not able to articulate how I was different but this all encompassing graphic is an extension of my view of the world that we live in and that we come from.

​

Worldview can be defined as: a particular philosophy of life or conception of the world.

​

My concept of the world extends beyond the circular idea and into the abyss of the vast universe space.  My worldview begins in the centre of how I was raised and extends outward into my family, my teachings, my ancestors and our villages: it then extends into the natural world outside of us and then further out into the larger vast areas of the world including "space." 

​

My worldview encompasses many different layers and how I think stems from my relationships with all of these things.  How I navigate in life is connected to all these things. Learning our language has made my worldview much more whole and interconnected. 

​

My view of the world changes with each season and every growth spurt I have. I grow, I change, I  reflect, I think, and I expand.
