Looking Down, Up, Forwards and Backwards: Telling the Story of the Menominee Sustainable Forest
Get PDFThe common narratives of history focus often focus on settlement and colonization. These stories often focus on the destruction of natural resources and the historic trauma of Indigenous who used and preserved them for thousands of years. The story of the Menominee, a Native nation, in southeast Wisconsin, offers a counternarrative of success. Using primary sources and the scholarship of Wisconsin-based activists, historians, and educators, this article explores the civic actions Menominee needed to protect their sustainable forest and how these lessons can be used to teach environmental stewardship in elementary classrooms
Bipolar Disorder in Children (Including Gifted and 2e Children)
Get PDFBetween the publication of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) in 1952 and the DSM-IV in 1993, 277 new disorders were created and made available for life-altering diagnoses. Should it be surprising that, since the late 1990s, psychiatrists in the United States have invented the diagnosis of Childhood-onset Bipolar Disorder? Common practice before that time (and still, in Europe) was that 18 was the earliest age of onset for Bipolar Disorder, based on extensive observation and family history. While lithium and anticonvulsants had been in use to treat adults with Bipolar Disorder, by the late 1990s children as young as 2 years old were being diagnosed and treated with drugs which had not been tested on young people. Following several tragic fatalities and an FDA warning on anticonvulsant medications, more psychiatrists backed atypical antipsychotics for the treatment of Childhood-onset Bipolar Disorder. The number of children under 18 being medicated for this condition rose exponentially. The research is often funded by pharmaceutical companies. Although the DSM continues to expand the categories which might catch various symptoms of Bipolar Disorder in adults, the DSM-5 does not include Childhood-onset Bipolar Disorder.
Other scholars cite the work of Kazimierz Dąbrowski and his quest to understand overexcitability as a sign of altruism and evolution. Students who are gifted, or gifted plus one or more disabilities (Twice-Exceptional) might be misdiagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. Educators and psychologists would do well to explore the many situations that resemble Bipolar Disorder as well as non-pharmacologica
The Refugee Trees: Treescapes as Intercultural Bridges
Get PDFForests, groves, parks as well as any area with fewer or more trees can be a suitable field for students\u27 environmental awareness. Even a single tree as a subject of thoughtful observation can give children opportunities for discussion around many issues such as those of environmental protection, endangered species, human\u27s relationship with nature and many more. Ιn addition to environmental awareness, trees can also contribute to the intercultural awareness of students. In all cultures without exception, trees and plants have a particularly important place and there are many myths, stories and traditions associated with them. Also, the great variety of trees that exist in the world, the variety of trunks, leaves, fruits, the variety of colors and sizes, are a constant stimulus for approaching the beauty that is created in diversity and the richness that emerges through the synthesis of differences.This article describes a day trip to a forest where participated a group of student teachers and peer refugees and sheds light on the intercultural interactions created on occasion of the trip in the forest

The Significance of Land Acknowledgements as a Commentary on Indigenous Pedagogies
Get PDFIn my decades of navigating both the academic institutional world and the world of Indigenous Peoples, the emergence of land acknowledgements in academic institutions and in public and government contexts is a fascinating story of how one small element of Indigenous pedagogies has come to be expressed in institutions that have historically reviled Indigenous Peoples. Land acknowledgements are often made as statements at important events within institutions. The land acknowledgement can be a “Welcome to Country” greeting by an elder, often given in Australia, or a formalized statement that is read out by a non-Indigenous official at an occasion such as a graduation ceremony. Indigenous pedagogies encompass the worldviews, philosophies, cultures, histories, ways of knowing and being, and practices of diverse Indigenous Peoples
