The Legacy of Language: Indigenous Language in Children’s Fiction
No full textGenerally speaking, storytelling is an honored tradition in many Native communities. I use the term generally with a disclaimer. There are currently 574 federally recognized tribal Nations on the land presently known as the United States of America. There are additional Native Nations recognized at the state level and tribal Nations left unrecognized. Each Nation has its own culture, language, traditions, and beliefs. The statements made in this paper could not be universally applicable to all Indigenous communities. There is no monolithic Native perspective that could adequately represent every Native Nation, nor should there be. We celebrate our differences as well as our shared traditions. Numerous Native Nations are prioritizing language revitalization and celebrating their Indigenous languages. Including Indigenous languages in fiction impacts Native and non-Native readers alike. For Native readers, language inclusion signals belonging and provides much needed representation. For non-Native readers, including Indigenous language offers insight into Native culture. For all readers, the presence of Indigenous languages shapes the character’s lens, world, and perspective. The interconnected nature of story, culture, community, and language are inextricably woven together; storytelling is stronger as a result

#37: Lessons for Today from Black Educators amid Jim Crow: The Origins of Teacher Leadership
No full textFeaturing our invited speaker, Dr. Miyoshi B. Juergensen (MJ), a teacher leadership researcher, who seeks to illuminate the historical and often overlooked contributions of Black teachers in southern segregated schooling communities to the development of teacher leadership.
Dr. Juergensen\u27s research uncovers the origin story of teacher leadership, extending much further back in time than has been previously argued, with Black teachers as key architects of its foundation. Anchored by the guiding research question, What historical evidence exists that highlights the teacher leadership practices of Black teachers in southern segregated schooling communities?, her work and forthcoming book seek to uncover, document, and honor Black teachers\u27 significant contributions to teaching and leading for equity, pedagogical excellence, and school improvement. This timely research provides vision, hope and possibility for understanding social justice leadership in schools and communities under oppressive regimes.
Dr. Juergensen\u27s talk will be followed by discussant responses from GSE alums Alicia Wargo and Rhema Stradford-Dai.https://educate.bankstreet.edu/librarysalons/1036/thumbnail.jp
