Presentation summary: One of the central aspects of belief systems that manifest in and across cultures is that of morality. A ubiquitous feature of humanity’s search for truth, meaning, and fecund social connections, morality is often strongly associated with religious and/or spiritual orientations. As many Indigenous peoples venture to affirm and embrace their traditional identities, their focus upon traditional systems of belief and morality have become more focused. In recent years, public schools have begun to reflect such systems of belief and morality in educational programming. This talk will be an effort to discuss how Indigenous conceptions of morality may be resident in educational forums and in broader communal consciousness.
