This course will introduce students to statistical techniques with the intent that they will apply them to projects and classes in the Ed. D. in First Nations Education, in the careers they pursue, and in the larger communities. This class builds a bridge between indigenous perspectives and quantitative methodologies to assist students in becoming competent in understanding and interpreting statistical results presented in computer output, scholarly journals, grant applications, and authentic settings where data are presented. This course offers an approach to understanding statistics that reflects Indigenous worldviews with an emphasis on interconnection, statistics as present in the natural world, and storytelling and the oral tradition as a central element of statistical problem solving and the quantitative approach.
