YOUR REFLECTIONS
The term "Indigenous Peoples" refers to several socioeconomic and cultural groups that
have shared ancestral links to the lands and natural resources that they currently reside on or have
been displaced from. Their traditional knowledge and interaction with the ecosystems they live in
are also important to their cultural identity, spiritual traditions, and political structure. However, the
education systems of developing nations frequently lack the capacity or willingness to provide
curricula that respect the diversity of cultures among indigenous people.
It is crucial that the teaching methods employed are effective for the students, regardless of
the students' cultural affiliation. The educational opportunities provided to them must be targeted
toward achieving learning objectives. Developing engagement techniques for indigenous students
can enhance effective teaching practice. Students must have a positive perception of themselves
as IPs in order for them to have high expectations. We as instructors must use successful
Indigenous people as examples within the curriculum and instruction. Teachers must assist and
instruct pupils so that they can identify successful people from comparable cultural backgrounds.
This will help students realize that classroom instruction and cultural education don't necessarily
have to conflict.
An Elder is a recognized and'respected' male or female, of any age, in the society who has the
knowledge, understanding, and authority to talk about their culture. Elders are the center of power in the
community for many indigenous peoples. They have a major impact on preserving and advancing indigenous
institutions, indigenous knowledge, and customary law. An independent group of world leaders known as "The
Elders" collaborates for peace, justice, and human rights. In the world we envision, people coexist in harmony,
aware of their shared humanity and obligations to one another, the environment, and future generations.
The teacher must also teach the children about the customs and traditions that are still followed in their
community today. Both of these respect the community's historical and biographical history.
