Notre recherche s’intéresse au travail des enseignants autochtones en univers social qui évoluent dans la communauté mohawke de Kahnawake à l’école primaire Kateri Tekakwitha. Nous avons récolté nos données à l’aide d’un questionnaire auprès de huit enseignantes, de techniques d’évocation et d’entrevues semi-dirigées auprès de six enseignantes. Ces résultats nous permettent d’affirmer que le programme est centré sur la culture autochtone et surtout mohawk, les techniques d’enseignement déclarées sont surtout magistrocentrées et l’outil didactique le plus prisé est le récit. Le programme diffusé est construit selon la continuité culturelle du groupe qui a subi le colonialisme. On enseigne beaucoup la culture traditionnelle avec la tradition orale. Les récits des enseignants utilisés sont souvent tirés du répertoire familial.
ELEMENTARY SOCIAL SCIENCE TEACHING FROM AN INDIGENOUS POINT OF VIEW
This study is interested in the work of Indigenous teachers in social science at the Kateri Tekakwitha elementary school on the Kahnawake Mohawk reserve. We collected our data with the help of a questionnaire completed by eight teachers, using evocation techniques and semi structured interviews for six teachers. The results indicate that the program is centered on Indigenous culture, specifically Mohawk. The stated teaching approach is mainly teacher-centric and the most utilized didactic tool is storytelling. The program is based on the cultural continuity of a group who was subjected to colonialism. Oral tradition is used widely to teach traditional culture, and teachers’ stories are often drawn from family repertoire.
