Abstract

Dr. Yunkaporta offers a possibility for all teachers to reach for holistic education’s full potential, his analysis is specific to his unique Australian Aboriginal culture in a world of diverse cultures. Still, he suggests that it may be useful as a basis for inquiry for all educators, especially allowing Indigenous teachers, scholars and community members to express abstract ideas about customary processes they have previously been unable to articulate in English. This empowering process can result in way to liberate Indigenous teachers and learners, and others, from the colonising heuristics of settler scholarship
