Recommended Resources – Lateral Love Australia supports Four Arrows Teaching Truly: A Curriculum to Indigenize Mainstream Education
7 05 2013“Aboriginalisation is the only way forward for all of humanity. By placing the focus for learning fairly and squarely on the principles of caring, sharing and respect as practiced by our Elders we will bring about the necessary change to enable us to work together for the betterment of this world.” – Brian & Nicola Butler Lateral Love Australia
Help us to help Four Arrows, aka Don Trent Jacobs to index this critical resource in the top 10 ranking on Amazon
Remember to purchase your copy on the 15th May 2013 by clicking on the image below to go straight to Amazon.com!
“Masterful and liberatory”- Henry Giroux
“It may be our last hope” -Nancy Turner Banks
“A new way to resist”- John Pilger
“Penetrating, fearless and practical” -Thom Hartman
Dear Friends, Neighbors, and Fellow Educators,
I want this new book, my 21st and last one (I hope), to truly revolutionize schooling in the US, Canada and elsewhere “or we are all doomed,” to quote from Noam Chomsky’s endorsement.
Therefore, I am making this unusual request for each of you reading this post to go to amazon.com on May 15th and order a copy of Teaching Truly: A Curriculum to Indigenize Mainstream Education. (Or if you have teacher friends, order more for gifts.) My goal is to get 120 people to order the book on the same day.
This would bring the book from the usual new book ranking of around 2 million into the top ten on amazon.
Getting a top ten ranking on amazon can be a significant way to introduce this text as worthwhile contribution to the education revolution.
If you can’t afford to buy the book, please share this email and the powerful quotes about it that have come from a number of the world’s most noted thinkers (see below) with folks who might be interested.
A first in educational publishing, this text looks at eight common subject areas, from health education and US history to mathematics and geography, and reveals the corporate influence/cultural hegemony that defines mainstream curricula; the consequent failure of schooling to achieve its stated goals; and practical alternative ways to augment the curricula with time-tested approaches to teaching and learning used by traditional Indigenous Peoples for thousands of years to achieve and maintain balance and beauty in social and ecological systems.
Thanks for allowing me to contact you and I hope you will forgive my taking advantage of our relationship for such promotional purposes. Note that all profits from this book will go to worthy American Indian educational associations and foundations. Giving back to the Peoples whose wisdom we borrow is of utmost importance.
Akaywaciankinktay,
Four Arrows, aka Don Trent Jacobs, Ph.D., Ed.D.

“Penetrating, fearless and practical, this book offers educators (and anyone else with an interest in our future) a way to create a better world—before it is too late!”—Thom Hartmann

1 05 2013How many of us have experienced people we know or love behaving badly towards us recently?
Frequent manifestations of lateral violence include:
• nonverbal innuendo (raising eyebrows, face-making),
• bullying,
• verbal affront (overt/covert, snide remarks, lack of openness, abrupt responses, gossiping),
• shaming,
• undermining activities (turning away, not being available, social exclusion),
• withholding information,
• sabotage (deliberately setting up a negative situation),
• infighting (bickering, family feuds),
• scapegoating,
• backstabbing (complaining to peers and not confronting the individual),
• failure to respect privacy,
• broken confidences,
• organisational conflict,
• physical violence.
The Lateral Violence we are talking about is far from being the ‘fuzzy buzz word’ that many people choose to used to dismiss this destructive behaviour.
We must acknowledge our actions and behaviours to be able to work towards healing our souls to create positive opportunities for our future generations.

The Unravelling of a Colonized Mind by Jana-Rae Yerxa
14 03 2013The Unravelling of a Colonized Mind by Jana-Rae Yerxa
Sure everybody struggles. But to be born an Indigenous person, you are born into struggle. My struggle. Your struggle. Our struggle. The colonial struggle. There are many layers to this struggle. For the longest time, I didn’t even know what the true struggle was about yet I couldn’t escape it. It consumed me. Colonialism, as I have been forced to discover, is like a cancer. But instead of the cells in your body betraying itself, the thoughts in your mind work against you and eat you up from the inside out. You’re like the walking dead and you don’t even know it because you are so blinded. You can’t see the truth.
Here are some of the perverted ways colonialism infects the mind:
• With a colonized mind, I hate being Indian.
• With a colonized mind, I accept that I am Indian because that’s who the colonizer told me I am.
• With a colonized mind, I don’t understand that I am Anishinaabe.
• With a colonized mind, I believe I am inferior to the white race.
• With a colonized mind, I wish I was white.
• With a colonized mind, I draw pictures of my family with peach coloured skin, blonde hair and blue eyes because I’ve internalized that this is the ideal, what looks good and what is beautiful.
• With a colonized mind, I keep my feelings of inferiority to white people a secret from others and even from myself.
• With a colonized mind, I try diligently to mirror white people as closely as I possibly can.
• With a colonized mind, I desperately want to be accepted by white people.
• With a colonized mind, to gain the acceptance of white people, I will detach myself from all that does not mirror acceptable “white” standards, whether it is how one dresses, one speaks, or one looks.
• With a colonized mind, I feel as though I am swearing when I say “white people” in front of white people.
• With a colonized mind, I believe there is no racism.
• With a colonized mind, I believe that racism does not impact me.
• With a colonized mind, I deny my heritage and proudly say, “We are all just people.”
• With a colonized mind, when discussing issues pertaining to race, I try desperately not to offend white people.
• With a colonized mind, I do not know who I am.
• With a colonized mind, I believe I know who I am and do not understand that this isn’t so because I’ve become the distorted image of who the colonizer wants me to be and remain unaware of this reality.
• With a colonized mind, I could care less about history and think that our history don’t matter.
• With a colonized mind, I do not understand how the history created the present.
• With a colonized mind, I do not see how I have been brainwashed to be an active participant in my own dehumanization and the dehumanization of my people.
• With a colonized mind, I do not recognize how others dehumanize me and my people.
• With a colonized mind, I devalue the ways of my people- their ways of seeing, their ways of knowing, their ways of living, their ways of being.
• With a colonized mind, I cannot speak the language of my ancestors and do not care that this is so.
• With a colonized mind, I am unaware of how colonization has impacted my ancestors, my community, my family, and myself.
• With a colonized mind, I think that my people are a bunch of lazy, drunk, stupid Indians.
• With a colonized mind, I discredit my own people.
• With a colonized mind, I think that I am better than ‘those Indians’.
• With a colonized mind, I will silently watch my people be victimized.
• With a colonized mind, I will victimize my own people.
• With a colonized mind, I will defend those that perpetrate against my people.
• With a colonized mind, I will hide behind false notions of tradition entrenched with Euro-western shame and shame my own people re-creating more barriers amongst us.
• With a colonized mind, I tolerate our women being raped and beaten.
• With a colonized mind, I tolerate our children being raised without their fathers.
• With a colonized mind, I feel threatened when someone else, who is Anishinaabe, achieves something great because I feel jealous and wish it was me.
• With a colonized mind, when I see an Anishinaabe person working towards bettering their life, because my of my own insecurities, I accuse them of thinking they are ‘so good now’.
• With a colonized mind, I am unaware that I was set up to hate myself.
• With a colonized mind, I do not think critically about the world.
• With a colonized mind, I believe in merit and do not recognize unearned colonial privilege.
• With a colonized mind, I ignorantly believe that my ways of seeing, living and believing were all decided by me when in reality everything was and is decided for me.
• With a colonized mind, I am lost.
• With a colonized mind, I do not care about the land.
• With a colonized mind, I believe that freedom is a gift that can be bestowed upon me by the colonizer.
• With a colonized mind, I believe that I am powerless and act accordingly.
• With a colonized mind, I do not have a true, authentic voice.
• With a colonized mind, I live defeat.
• With a colonized mind, I will remain a victim of history.
• With a colonized mind, I will pass self-hatred on to my children.
• With a colonized mind, I do not understand the term “self-responsibility.”
• With a colonized mind, I do not recognize that I have choice and do not have to fatalistically accept oppressive, colonial realities.
• With a colonized mind, I do not see that I am a person of worth.
• With a colonized mind, I do not know I am powerful.
The colonial struggle, as I said earlier, has many layers. I am no longer being eaten from the inside. Yet it is no less painful. What is different today is that I am connected to a true source of power that was always there. It’s like my friend once said, “I come from a distinguished people whose legacy shines on me like the sun.” I now understand this and it is because of this understanding that my mind and my soul are freer than they have ever been. It is because of that gift- that awakening which came through struggle- that I will proudly continue to struggle for freedom. My freedom. Your freedom. Our freedom.

18 01 2013How will the Australian Government bring on the Referendum to change the Constitution when the colonisation orders by the British have not been cancelled?
The order for the colonisation of Australia was the same as the colonisation of all other countries around the world.
The first principal of colonisation is the conquering of the inhabitants, usurp and destroy the culture of the people of the land and kill off any semblance of resistance from the Aboriginal peoples.

16 01 2013Why are so many people not getting housing when they have been on the waiting list for years?
And why are Housing Authorities selling Aboriginal houses when they are repairable like the one on Old Port Road?

15 01 2013Are we this year going to give more respect to our Elders, instead of what I have seen travelling from Community to Community?
Some of our Elders have been refused a service from Organisations, when these Organisations have been provided funds from Government to provide a service for ALL of our peoples.
The cruel aspect of this sad scenario is this; it was the Elders, whom years ago, were the ones who marched and fought for these services to be established in the first place and now the Johnny come lately people are denying them!

14 01 2013Why hasn’t anyone written to their local community organisation and asked them to add to their constitution and policy documents the serious clause of “Zero Tolerance to Lateral Violence and Racism”?
Failure to call for accountability by the inclusion of this serious clause, by the people, for the people, tells me that there is insincerity and that people really do not care about our young children and their future.
I ask this question because I have checked with the registrar of Organisations and sadly I am not excited by what I have found.
If the community does not ask then nobody will…
