Page 1 Introduction This volume aims to highlight, promote and extend the understanding of indigenous community-based education. Indigenous community-based education has developed in recent years as a response to the long historical colonisation, subjugation and marginalisation of indigenous peoples. It is predicated on, and framed within the wider principle of self-determination a principle which is being articulated increasingly by indigenous peoples and their supporters, in both national and international arenas (see May, this volume). A key concern within these wider claims to self-determination is the retention and promotion of indigenous languages and cultures, given that such languages and cultures have often been emasculated (some would say, eviscerated) as a result of the processes of colonisation. Not surprisingly, education as a key institution of the (colonising) nation-state has played a central part historically in the subjugation of indigenous languages and cultures and the related assimilation of indigenous peoples into the dominant or 'common' language and culture of the nation-state (cf. Anderson, 1991; Gellner, 1983). In the process, indigenous languages and cultures were specifically proscribed, demeaned and diminished by the state via its education system a system, moreover, that came to be controlled largely, if not exclusively, by non-indigenous educators. Consequently, indigenous languages and cultures came to be constructed as antediluvian and unnecessary in the modern world a vestige of 'primitive' cultures best left in the past. In contrast, 'national' languages and cultures or, more specifically, the languages and cultures of dominant ethnic groups were viewed as the apogee of modernity and progress.
