Review of \u3ci\u3eIntegrating Aboriginal Perspectives into the School Curriculum: Purposes, Possibilities, and Challenges.\u3c/i\u3e By Yatta Kanu.

This is an excellent book about an issue of importance for the future of cities in the Canadian prairies and Great Plains. It examines the difficult task of integrating Aboriginal cultural knowledge into school curricula. In the first chapter Yatta Kanu explains why this matters. In subsequent chapters she draws upon field research over the period 2003- 2007 with 84 Aboriginal students and 18 teachers in six low-income, inner-city schools in a Canadian prairie city with a large Aboriginal population. She brings together the results of an integrated series of research studies, each building on the one before, and the existing academic literature, and she draws upon the voices of Aboriginal students and their teachers
