Working with elders and indigenous knowledge systems : a reader and guide for places of higher learning / Herman Jeremiah Michell.
Dr. Herman Michell has produced a practical, easy to follow, reader designed to provide both examples and suggestions so as to allow readers the ability to establish “a starting base from which they can develop their own ways of working with Elders…” (p. ii). By exploring key Indigenous concepts, [i.e., definitions of Indigenous identity in Canada, Indigenous People and Indigenous knowledge; Indigenous worldview; who are Indigenous elders; etc.], Dr. Michell hopes to build cross-cultural bridges. This book is a must read for anyone wishing to quickly obtain an understanding of what underlies Indigenous ways of perceiving.
