kia ora, greetings, Aanii Native Social Work Journal Volume 8 Indigenous Social Work Practices and Theories has been completed and is available online at LUL Zone https://zone.biblio.laurentian.ca/dspace/handle/10219/1978 Abstract of Journal: There are an increasing number of articles written by Indigenous and First Nations authors about their worldviews, cultures, research and ways of being and knowing in relation to Indigenous theories and pedagogies. As a result, their experiences, philosophies and approaches emphasize the increasing borders for understanding the importance, value and rightful place of Indigenous theories and pedagogies in research, teaching and practice. Additionally, non-Indigenous authors are also writing messages of encouragement and support for Indigenous theories and pedagogies and highlight ways for non-Indigenous practitioners/teachers to reframe a worldview that incorporates Indigenous worldviews in a “good and respectful way”.
