Growing Up Native: A Vision of the Children and Parents We Could Be

This excerpt from Tamarack’s upcoming book Blossoming the Child: Native-inspired Ways of Unparenting and Encouraging Childwisdom explores the native concepts of a “blossoming child” and an “unparenting parent.” The text explores Native views on child life, the naming of children, learning through play and experience about sex, gender roles, camp life, and relationships with people and the Earth. The main theme is that from birth, people are all genetically programmed to blossom into happily fulfilled children, and then grow out of childhood into fully successful and fulfilled adulthood. Being in Her is structured as a dialogue between two researchers: anthropologist Marjorie Shostak, who studied the !Kung of South Africa, and Evelyn Wolfson, whose research covered North American Natives.

*Excerpt...* !Kung children have no schools. There is no doubt in the parents’ minds that as children grow up they will learn to act with sense, with or without deliberate training, simply as a result of maturation, social pressure, and the desire to conform to group values. Indian children don’t have to go to school. Yet they grow up to be responsible, contributing members of their communities. Their learning does not have to take place in school. [They] wake up every morning in a classroom—their home. They go outdoors to another classroom--the world around them. Learning and playing are the same thing.Children move freely around their villages, exploring and experimenting on their own. They are given guidance and help only when needed.	$3- ebook version By purchasing the ebook you will not pay any postage charges and you will be able to download it to your computer instantaneously after your payment.
