The Mt. Currie Indian Community School: Innovation and Endurance
Mots-clés :
Indigenous education, school governance, community participation, parental involvementRésumé
Le début des années soixante-dix a marqué une période de renaissance dans les domaines de la langue et de la culture des Indiens autochtones du Canada. Dans la communauté de Mt. Currie, en Colombie Britannique, ce renouveau était étroitement lié à la transformation du système scolaire anglais qui est devenu une institution contrôlée localement par les autochtones. On se sert dans cet article des données recueillies lors d’une entrevue, pour passer en revue l’évolution des rôles de la commission scolaire et de son personnel. L’analyse révèle des points d’intérêts qui sont communs aux entreprises communautaires d’éducation à travers l’Amérique du Nord. Un trait unique des communautés autochtones est l’intégration des valeurs anglaises contemporaines et des rôles traditionnels. Les recommandations qui découlent de ces études pourraient être utiles non seulement aux communautés autochtones mais aussi à d’autres groupes dont les programmes scolaires requièrent la participation de la communauté et des parents.
