    Alternative Education Resource Organization (AERO) is an interesting web site with a variety of materials about alternative education – has lots of videos including this one … Four Arrows is a professor at Fielding Graduate University and author of sixteen books, including The Authentic Dissertation: Alternative Ways of Knowing, Research and Representation (Routledge, 2008) and Unlearning the Language of Conquest (University of Texas Press, 2006) in addition to invited chapters for Education as Enforcement: The Militarization and Corporatization of Schooling and Battleground Schools. He has doctorates in both health psychology and in Curriculum and Instruction, with a specialization in Indigenous worldviews.

    Keynote Topic:

    “Traditional Indigenous Knowledge: The Original “Alternative” Learning Model”

    Keynote Summary:

    Indigenous ways of knowing, researching, and education have been suppressed, ignored or ridiculed for centuries, and our world’s condition is paying the price. Many alternative education programs naturally have re-discovered portions of this approach to learning, but a more complete or more widespread application may be needed if we are to survive as a species. In this keynote, Four Arrows will offer a summary of the basic tenants of Indigenous education.
