*The Trials and Tribulations of Indigenous Education: An Examination of the
role of sovereignty and self-determination in a teacher education program*

 *March 9th, 2012 @ 10:30 am*

*Miller Hall  212*

 In this talk, Dr. Brayboy, will examine and explore notions of
sovereignty, self-determination and nation building in higher education.  In
order to demonstrate the importance of understanding these concepts, he
will examine a legal challenge to an Indigenous teacher preparation project.
In the examination of the challenge, he will highlight the dangers of
misunderstanding the role of sovereignty and self- determination in the
education of Indigenous peoples, while pointing to the ways that notions of
equality and equity are conflated in the larger discourse of Indigenous
rights.
