  • “To illustrate culturally responsive methodologies is to acknowledge the local histories, traditions and Indigenous knowledge systems that inform them” Chilisa, 2011:161

 I find this inspiring because it contains the historical, traditional, and Indigenous Knowledge, which is what Indigenous have been doing all along. I feel, it is important to know the history of Indigenous people, and traditions too because its forms strong community ties amongst one another and to continue to build off of one another for a better future.
