(2015) A Quallunaaq on Baffin Island: A Canadian experience of
decolonizing the teacher. Forthcoming In Bartleet, B.L., Bennett, D., Power, A. & Sunderland, N. (Eds.). Arts-based service learning with First Peoples Towards respectful and mutually beneficial educational practices. NY: Springer Publishing. Canada has many different indigenous groups, but Dolloff focuses on her engagement with Inuit community of Iqaluit on Baffin Island. A point in history that she described was the residential schools from 1930s to 1990s: children were taken out of their homes and sent away to residential schools. There their culture was taken out from them and they were not allowed to practice or wear anything from their culture. In response to this abusive event, I believe one of the worst things to be done unto a human is to take away their culture. Within a culture, there is music, religion, customs family and a community. Taking away culture is taking a way identity in so many aspects. Dolloff talks about her trip to Iqaluit and explains typical views of Southern Canadians towards Northern Canadians. Because Canada is such a large country, its common to have notions from one part to another, yet it does not justify it. Dolloff explains where the views come from: we have notions from the work of the Artpoems and novels about icebergs, polar bears and parkas. Prior to reading this article, I admit that I was one of the people who believed that the Canadians from the North lived in igloos, didnt have access to technology or electricity, and that they are hunters. She mentions of the contemporary life in the North. They have technology but also maintain their traditions. They do not let technology rule over them like we do here. The youth have access to computers and social media such as YouTube and global music. This article is an eye-opener because she expresses her feelings towards the people of the north. She loved working up there and has visited many times. This is very appropriate for those who want to pursue music education because the article is about relationships. Teachers should always have an opened mind to all of their students and embrace the different cultures within the classrooms.
