☉Enabling the Autumn Seed: Toward a decolonized approach to aboriginal knowledge, language, and education by Dr. Maria Battiste (1998) Canadian Journal of Native Education, 22 (1), 16 – 27. "This article discusses the need for Aboriginal knowledge to be retained through Aboriginal languages supported in curricula. It also challenges the Eurocentric assumptions that have pushed Aboriginal knowledge and languages to the margins and raises current Aboriginal educational concerns regarding a transformed curriculum that embraces the rich diversity of knowledge and provides the necessary consciousness to enable Aboriginal humanity to be respected and protected."
