The past decade has seen increased efforts to reconceptualise mathematics as an intellectual right of all students (Gates and Vistro-Yo 2003). Yet educational systems worldwide have failed Indigenous students (Battiste 2002; Cooper et al. 2006). In Canada almost 45% of Aboriginal1 youth between the ages of 20 and 24 have less than a high school education compared to 19% of the general population (Cowley and Easton 2006). Aboriginal students tend to be over-represented in special education classes and low-track mathematics courses and under-represented in higher-level mathematics courses, post-secondary studies that require mathematics, and careers that use mathematics. Even more devastating is the structure of doubt educational systems have generated among Aboriginal students. Such self-doubt has led learners to discount their inherent experiences, capacities, and gifts (Battiste 2002), while school mathematics has often functioned to exclude Aboriginal students and others from advanced studies of mathematics.
