Faculty of Education Education News Spring / Summer 2012 Page 3 they and their Faculties have a role and responsibility to expand educators ’ knowledge about and understanding of Indigenous education . ACDE believes that this Accord :
• supports a socially just society for Indigenous peoples ;
• reflects a respectful , collaborative , and consultative
process with Indigenous and non-Indigenous knowledge holders ;
• promotes multiple partnerships among educational and Indigenous communities ; and
• values the diversity of Indigenous knowledges and ways of knowing and learning , both traditional and contemporary .
I am pleased that this edition of Education News gives some insight into diverse Indigenization initiatives in this Faculty ; it also gives you a sense of how far down the road we have come and just how long the journey will be .
