The American Indian Mind in a Linear World: American Indian Studies and Traditional Knowledge Book

I read this book as part of a class for my master's program in Intercultural Studies as part of the North American Institute for Indigenous Theological Studies (NAIITS) for the class Theology & Praxis of Pedagogy.
Fixico drew me into considering how much the Euro American concept of learning comes from linear instruction (think IKEA furniture), where you start with step 1. Indigenous learning often came at introducing the complex first, welcoming the learner into fascination and wonder. Communal story-telling as formation with a connectedness to the natural world beyond humans help learners understand their role as part of something larger, with their behavior as a factor in maintaining or restoring balance/harmony.
