Abstract

This chapter describes the collaboration between the Department of Indigenous Education in the Faculty of Education at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada and the extension program at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, illustrating the process of engaging pre-service teachers working in collaboration with Indigenous artists, staff from the Art Gallery, and learners in the schools where art-based workshops were facilitated. Further, it will describe how by being involved on this project, the student teachers were able to reflect on themselves as educators, and on the challenges and triumphs that entails doing decolonizing work and becoming allies, advocates or “Indigenists.”
