Realizing the pedagogy of white privilege

Abstract

The objective of this project is to explore the educational history on the Kainai Reserve in order to comprehend the role of patriarchy and colonialism as forms of racism in pedagogical practice. Three individuals integral to this research are Canon Middleton, Buffalo Child Long Lance and the author. The personal process of the learner outlines the transformation from the expectations that she would become an accepted member of the Kainai community to the realization that she will always be an outsider to the culture of the reserve because of her race.
