Abstract:
This research examines the development of literacy and identity for young Indigenous children using ethnographic methods and the theories of multiple literacies, Indigenous knowledge, and identity construction, and it provides insights into the incorporation of Indigenous knowledge and literacies to create hybrid literacy spaces. The authors found that all children learned literacies in culturally meaningful contexts that involved stories and hybrid literacy practices, Indigenous foods, religious activities, traditional life skills, Indigenous language, and multiple forms of text. The literacy and identity of the city children may be undermined due to limited access to resources, stemming from racism, classism, and linguicism.
