Indigenous Education is important!
At Resist Clothing Company, we believe education is one of the sharpest tools we have to carve out a better future. It’s more than curriculum — it’s how we change systems. That’s why our team dove into Wayi Wah! Indigenous Pedagogies: An Act for Reconciliation and Anti-Racist Education by Jo Chrona, a bold and transformative book that aligns perfectly with our mission to amplify Indigenous voices and disrupt colonial narratives.
📚 What Wayi Wah! Brings to the Table
Wayi Wah! is not your average education resource. It’s a practical, action-driven guide for educators ready to move beyond empty land acknowledgments and into meaningful work that supports Indigenous Education.
Each chapter is layered with:
-
✨ Reflection prompts that challenge you to unlearn and reframe
-
🛠️ Concrete action steps you can bring into the classroom
-
📖 Additional resources for deeper learning
This book empowers educators to reimagine what learning spaces can look like — inclusive, equitable, and built with Indigenous values at the center.
🔥 Key Themes That Hit Hard
🔴 Reconciliation Through Action
Chrona doesn’t tiptoe around the truth: colonial education systems have failed Indigenous students for generations. This book calls educators in — not just out — to start rebuilding trust and relationships in the classroom.
🔨 Anti-Racism That Moves Beyond Theory
Indigenous Education isn’t just about teaching history. It’s about dismantling systemic racism in how knowledge is shared, validated, and rewarded.
📘 Real Voices, Real Reflections
Chrona’s voice is one of lived experience. Her stories — and those of fellow educators — are raw, real, and instructive. This isn’t performative allyship. It’s personal growth in motion.
🧠 Why Wayi Wah! Matters — Now More Than Ever
If you're an educator — or someone who wants to be an effective ally — this book is a must-read. It offers a path forward for embedding Indigenous Education into every part of your teaching.
Educators who apply this work will:
-
Enhance Understanding: Gain real respect for Indigenous knowledge systems
-
Create Inclusive Environments: Build classrooms that uplift all students
-
Drive Systemic Change: Participate in a larger movement for decolonized learning
🧵 The Connection Between Fashion, Culture, and Education
At Resist Clothing, we often say fashion is political — and so is education. When we talk about Indigenous Education, we’re not just talking about curriculum. We’re talking about survival. About pride. About truth-telling.
We wear our resistance. And we read it, too.
This book reminds us that decolonization doesn’t happen in isolation — it happens in community, in the classroom, in conversation, and in the choices we make every day. Including what we wear, what we teach, and what we pass on to future generations.
