Résumé

Canada's Aboriginal population represent identities that are divergent from that which can be regarded as Canadian. The implication of this state of affairs is that the development of a shared identity with other Canadians in a collective, democratic community may be difficult. Aboriginal students, who are frequently taught by non-Aboriginal teachers with the use of government-developed curriculum and Eurocentric pedagogical practices, may be caught in a struggle of competing values when involved in citizenship development. The following article is a discussion of Aboriginal education and its relationship with accepted conceptions of Canadian citizenship that are used in contemporary schooling.
