- Abstract
How can the process of appropriating ones own living place, in relation with identity strengthening and reconstruction of social relations, be supported among young aboriginal people? This important question is examined here by the authors in the context of environmental education projects collaboratively developed with Innu (Labrador) and Algonquin (Abitibi-Témiscamingue) communities. How can formal education, previously a somewhat alienating experience, evolve in such a way as to contribute to the construction and expression of young aboriginal's identity and world view? How can it be transformed to enable the clarification of their expectations, concerns, needs and hopes? How can it legitimate and value their voices and contribute to their expression and recognition? Based on such questions, the authors first focus on a literature review and a study of educational proposals (programs, projects) related to the "environment" in indigenous contexts. Theoretical bases and pedagogical strategies are examined. Furthermore, researchers also reflect on their own educational experiences in indigenous communities. Such critical analyses help to highlight and confirm issues and constraints, but also opportunities and promising educational paths.
