This thesis focuses on socially responsible strategies for teaching Aboriginal literatures in Canadian schools, particularly within Secondary level English courses. It articulates the need for a theorized methodology for reading as the basis of this pedagogical project, and argues that, within the context of colonial Canada, this methodology must be a decolonizing one. It outlines the fundamental components of a decolonizing methodology for reading, based on the following imperatives: rooting understanding in Aboriginality; valuing Aboriginal perspectives; challenging Eurocentrism and colonialism; maintaining a sense of reader responsibility; and challenging multiple forms of oppression. This project demonstrates a decolonizing methodology by examining Aboriginal texts by Beatrice Culleton Mosionier, Tomson Highway, Lee Maracle, and Chrystos. These examinations address such issues as colonial schooling in Canada, Aboriginal languages and their importance to Aboriginal cultures, and the possibilities offered by anti-colonialism feminism. Throughout, it raises considerations for educators pursuing an anti-colonial pedagogy through Aboriginal texts.
