The lack of literature related to the perceptions of experienced Aboriginal teachers in the
publicly funded school system represented a void in knowledge. Within this Indigenous narrative
study the Aboriginal teachers provided their experiences with isolation, overt and covert racism,
and perseverance. Advice for improving various aspects of Native language/studies instruction
and supporting relationships with colleagues, administrators, parents, and students, in publicly
funded schools were also explored.
