- Summary:
-
"Just as our visions will be the present of some young Aboriginal children who are not yet born, these will be made real through our voices and actions right now. The question begs to be asked: 'What kind of people do we want those children of the future to remember us as being?'This book reflects the stories of practitioners in Aboriginal early childhood education in Australia. It is not just their stories, but a text for how Aboriginal worldviews and frameworks are incorporated in what they do. As Aboriginal people we have always had to conform to a Western schooling system, one which does not fully appreciate our knowledges. In what you are about to read there is an implied but silent script in that, 'you listen now and let us tell you'."From the Foreword by Jackie Huggins, Inaugural Co-Chair: Aboriginal Congress.
