Summary:t is a sacred honor to have been asked to write the foreword for this special edition of the Canadian Journal of Native Education (CJNE). I had the privilege of being a keynote speaker at the "Celebrating the Local, Negotiating the School: Symposium on Language and Literacy in Aboriginal Communities" in November 2008. 1 hope to do justice to what people shared with me at that conference and over the past 25 years that I have been involved in Aboriginal literacy across Canada, as well as what I believe to be the preparatory work before that.
