To our readers: I close my editorial responsibilities with Teaching and Learning by implementing an editor’s prerogative to include in this issue selected passages from an article by Raven Sinclair. As an advocate for social justice within indigenous communities Raven continues to make strides within transformational challenge opportunities by implementing participatory action research in settings that require intervention and social change. I was introduced to this article by a friend of his at a conference I attended on aboriginal issues in education. The message contained therein has influenced my work as a teacher, counsellor, professor, researcher and storyteller. Unfortunately space does not permit a full reprint of Ravens article. I have tried to carefully select passages that do justice to the intent and message without disrupting the flow. In my life as a storyteller I borrow to share not claim to own. For the complete article and list of references refer to the web site described at the end.
