COLONIAL STRESS TRAUMA 7000 years of violent colonial destruction of earth's once vibrant abundant 'indigenous' (Latin 'self-generating') intelligent biosphere & hierarchal institutional command & control against humanity's role as loving caretakers, leaves us all in fear. Fear breeds insecurity, dishonest relations & misinformation, with only symbolic fragmented knowledge of 'how' to interact & collaborate remaining.
INSTITUTIONAL DIS-ANALOGY When Institutions are formed they are unsuccessfully attempting to approximate the 'fractal' ('part-contains-the-whole') critical-mass economies-of-scale once universal in indigenous humanity worldwide practice of 100 person multihome-dwelling-complex (Longhouse/apartment, Pueblo/townhouse & Kanata/village) intergenerational interdisciplinary living. 100 person fractals were grouped into villages, into cities, regions, nations, confederacies, continental & hemispheric councils based in Economic-Democracy. Such natural groupings are the foundation of culture. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/relational-economy/8-economic-democracy
OVER-LOOKING CULTURAL ATTRIBUTES Humanity is so alienated today from each other, so as not to be aware that; 70% of us still are living in multihomes. We naturally live in multimillion dollar collective entities, but without inherent self-knowledge or organization. Even though sustainable 'economy' (Greek 'oikos' = 'home' + 'namein' = 'care-&-nurture') starts in the collective domestic economy of the multihome, modern society excludes the primarily female domestic economy & only recognizes (accounts-for) commercial, industrial & institutional economies typically male. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/relational-economy
INSTITUTIONAL FLAT TIRE With such economic confusion & inefficiencies abounding, bureaucrats try to institutionally serve 'community' (L 'com' = 'together' + 'munus' = 'gift-or-service') through detached institutional & business settings with internal-combustion, roads & highways in between. Institutional dis-'education' (L 'educare' = 'to-lead-forth-from-within') directed by insecure oligarchs employs hierarchal teaching methodology as well as degrading indigenous learning methodologies from lack of understanding & what has become an institutionally imposed collective-psychosis.

Hamit Can, A belated Thank-you for the link to Shane Theunessen's 26Apr'17 thesis "The Interface Between Global Hegemony and Cultural Marginalization: Agency, Education and Development Among Indigenous Peoples". I've just made an initial read of the beginning. I appreciate Shane's distinction between exploitive 'exogenous' & 'indigenous' 'education' (Latin 'educare' = 'to-lead-forth-from-within'). Such analysis follows my own basic division of history into 'indigenous' (Latin 'self-generating') & 'exogenous' (L 'other-generated') periods & understandings. I look forward to reading it fully.
