"A valuable, informative, and insightful work. Unsettling Education will provide readers with the opportunity to survey the developing field of decolonization in education with specific focus upon the unique manifestations of Indigenous knowledge and experience that are resident across Canada. Given that many in the field of education are still coming to understand what it means to decolonize school curricula, teacher education, and approaches toward learning, King, O'Reilly, and Lewis's assemblage of diverse perspectives is invaluable." — Frank Deer, PhD, Professor, Faculty of Education, University of Manitoba"This collective work is a home fire of thought, intelligence, and vision. It is a walk, leading humanity into the future. This collection is a powerful guide that serves as a way of coming together with urgency, while remaining intact with love. The spirituality within is the seen and unseen which includes sacred places and spaces, most importantly the land. This gathering of wisdom is the 'unsettling' of education that we all need today." — Belinda kakiyosēw Daniels, PhD, Assistant Professor, Indigenous Education, University of Victoria"This text is filled with examples of diverse and varied pathways to unsettling, Indigenizing, and decolonizing. It is an essential read for educators serious about reconciliation and motivated by equity, social justice, and peace." — Shelley Rempel, Social Services & Justice Studies, Mohawk College
