Maskwacis Cultural Colege’s vision statement is “Center for excellence in Academics and Cree culture.” A case study of the use of open pedagogy in teaching and learning at the local First Nations College will be presented.
Two eyed seeing approach was used in SOCI 1500 online class by braiding western and Indigenous ways of teaching by a racialized settler instructor working with an on reserve First Nations college. 400 minutes of Open Educational Resources (OER) videos were created by collaborating with Subject Matter Experts. Production of the OER syllabics book was based on Three kittens' open book from Norway's Children's Digital library.
The success and challenges of using open education practices will be illustrated. Openness is embedded in Nehiyaw plains Cree ways of knowing by using concepts of Newaykomakanak, Wahkotowin, Kiyam and Pastahowin.
