Abstract

In this thesis I am giving priority to the recognition of Australian Aboriginal people as educators of the highest standard, and as master storytellers. Aboriginal people understand, and have practiced, the power of storytelling since ancient times. This Aboriginal practice has existed for millennia and is much older than the western education system. I also document and explain S.E.C.D.R.R.R: a model of knowledge sharing, that I have developed through my work as an Aboriginal Cultural Education Mentor in NSW. The S.E.C.D.R.R.R model was created from the principles and methods employed by Traditional Aboriginal epistemology of Lore and the Traditional pedagogy or knowledge sharing through the art of storytelling.
