A Métis Approach for Beyond Democracy: Otipemisiwak (Selves-Governing), Wâhkôhtowin (All Related), and Manito (Good Vibe) (OWM)
Adult Learning, v35 n4 p183-190 2024
The purpose of the article is to address the decline of democracy in adult education that was identified in the 2021 UNESCO report. Embedding an Indigenous perspective into the adult education curriculum is suggested for a reconstruction of democracy. The Métis perspective aligns with Western intrinsic motivational philosophy as well as traditional and new adult educational approaches, but it goes beyond these by a communal non-anthropocentric governance: otipemisiwak (selves-governing), wâhkôhtowin (all related), and manito (good vibe) (OWM). I will also introduce ways this perspective has been applied into the curriculum.
