This book aims to resolve the lack of information and knowledge about Indigenous Peoples and Indigenous Youth from the first-hand perspective of Indigenous Youth from all seven indigenous sociocultural regions. Indigenous Youth's realities, challenges, struggles and visions for the respect of their rights are eloquently depicted in this volume-the voices of a continuing and renewed international Indigenous Peoples movement.

My family and friends are the most important things in my life. But I need to keep leaving to remind myself of this fact and to meet up with an old friend of mine called A Sense of Wonder. I do believe I am better to those closest to me when I've spent time with A Sense of Wonder and I hope they too get to meet my old friend in their own kind of way.

The education sector is the most influential sector in our modern society - and it is broken. Learning and Education, written for a lay audience, is about how people (including children) learn, and is based on the latest scientific evidence. It is about how this evidence is largely ignored by the educational establishment, which is based almost entirely on the latest teaching fads. Fads that not only don't help learning, but will end up doing devastating, long-term damage to the very people they are supposed to be helping! Learning and Education also covers how Higher Education (HE) has lost its way, and how HE students are not getting what they think they are getting. This must change! Graduating with massive debts after having received (at best) a mediocre learning experience, it is time to fight for what we are paying for! In most other fields, what happens in HE would be called fraud! Education should be all about learning, but it isn't, it is all about teaching (except in HE, where it is all about research). It doesn't have to be that way. After years of trying to change the system from the inside, I have written this book out of frustration and disillusionment. Read it, and you will see why...
