Abstract

Conclusion. Integrating Indigenous pedagogies in education has a profound impact on students, schools, and communities. Incorporating Indigenous cultures' traditional knowledge, values, and teaching methods helps promote cultural diversity, respect, and understanding among students. These approaches also enhance the educational experiences of Indigenous students by validating their identity, language, and heritage within the curriculum. Furthermore, they foster learners' critical consciousness and a more inclusive learning environment that empowers students to connect with their roots and develop a strong sense of belonging.
