“…This raises the possibility that bilingual Hopis have internalized two implicit linguistic knowledge systems, giving them access to knowledge and information in two distinct cultural systems. 54,55 Thus, fluency in English, rather than being subtractive (i.e., replacing Hopi language) might better be understood as additive, insofar as it provides bilingual speakers with the ability to shift between languages as situation and needs dictate.…”

American Indians have one of the lowest colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates for any racial/ethnic group in the U.S., yet reasons for their low screening participation are poorly understood. Limited English language use may create barriers to cancer screening in Hispanic and other ethnic minority immigrant populations; the extent to which this hypothesis is generalizable to American Indians is unknown. We examine whether tribal (indigenous) language use is associated with knowledge and use of CRC screening in a community-based sample of American Indians. Using logistic regression to estimate the association between tribal language use and CRC test knowledge and receipt we found participants speaking primarily English were no more aware of CRC screening tests than those speaking primarily a tribal language (OR=1.16 [0.29, 4.63]). Participants who spoke only a tribal language at home (OR=1.09 [0.30, 4.00]) and those who spoke both a tribal language and English (OR=1.74 [0.62, 4.88]) also showed comparable rates of knowledge and receipt of CRC screening. Study findings failed to support the concept that primary use of a tribal language is a barrier to CRC screening among American Indians.

“…As a Wanka/Quechua person, Sumida Huaman was "epistemologically privileged" (Nicholas 2009) in many ways that include participation in agricultural functions and maintaining close family ties within the community. Since 1995, Sumida Huaman has been conducting ethnographic research in the community that focuses on cultural and linguistic preservation with a desire to produce useful research for the community's own goals in education.…”

In this article, we propose to approach Indigenous education beyond the formal/ non-formal dichotomy. We argue that there is a critical need to conscientiously include Indigenous knowledge in education processes from the school to the community; particularly, when formal systems exclude Indigenous cultures and languages. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in Quechua schools and communities, our examination of policy and teachers in the formal setting reveals overall contradictions towards practice, where the inclusion of Indigenous knowledge, language, and community participation remains largely symbolic, despite genuine efforts from those who support Indigenous revitalization. Further, an exploration of Wanka Quechua community educational practices focused on local ecology demonstrates that community education exhibits a structure that is culturally inclusive, intergenerational and values-driven, and rigorous and complex.
