The Founders of Wicoa: Their Vision and Mission

WICOA, which stands for the World Indigenous Peoples Conference on Education, was created in 1987. The first conference was held in Hobbema, Alberta, Canada. The conference aimed to address the educational needs and challenges faced by Indigenous peoples around the world. Since its inception, WICOA has served as a platform for Indigenous educators, leaders, and communities to come together, share their experiences, and develop strategies to improve Indigenous education. The conference occurs every three years and has since been held in various countries including New Zealand, Australia, and Hawaii. WICOA plays a crucial role in promoting Indigenous education and advocating for the inclusion of Indigenous knowledge and perspectives in mainstream education systems.

You always get into things wanting to do the work, and then if they become bigger than you’re expecting it’s always a bit of a shock, because I go, “Oh shit, yeah, people are going to watch this now!” I kind of forget that part of it! I just want to make them! I find watching them excruciating, that part of it’s very difficult, so I just like to focus on the work and then pretend it’s not coming out!

Has it been interesting to move from something like Game Of Thrones or Prometheus with these massive budgets and sets, to something like this which doesn t have unlimited resources. It s a beautifully made, intensely atmospheric and deeply scary film about a pilgrim family who strike out on their own in the New England woods with terrible results.

Reviews for "Wicoa in Retrospect: Tracing the Pathway to its Creation"

1. Sarah - 1 out of 5 stars

"When was wicoa created" was a complete waste of time for me. The writing was confusing and lacked clear direction. I found myself constantly re-reading parts just to try and understand what was going on. The characters were also poorly developed and I couldn't connect with any of them. Overall, I was highly disappointed with this book and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

2. John - 2 out of 5 stars

I had high hopes for "When was wicoa created" based on the synopsis, but unfortunately, it fell short for me. The pacing was incredibly slow and the story seemed to drag on without any real purpose. There were also several plot holes and inconsistencies that left me feeling frustrated and confused. Additionally, the dialogue felt forced and unnatural. While the idea behind the book had potential, the execution missed the mark.

3. Emily - 1 out of 5 stars

I struggled to finish "When was wicoa created" as I found it incredibly dull and uninteresting. The plot lacked depth and failed to engage me in any meaningful way. The writing style was also uninspiring and lacked creativity. I couldn't connect with any of the characters and found myself not caring about their fates. Overall, this book left me feeling bored and unsatisfied. I would not recommend it to others.
