Reviews
Elizabeth Jones, Faculty of Human Development, Pacific Oaks College, California:
The book’s heart is the stories, told in multiple voices, of seven university-tribal partnerships. It illustrates a mutually respectful community development process drawing on the richness of cultural knowledge rather than simply imposing a university model. A timely contribution to strategies for action worldwide and to educational theory applicable in cross-cultural settings.

Elizabeth Pakai, Head of School Social Science and Education Te Kura Matauranga Tu Tangata, Waiariki Institute of Technology, New Zealand:
This book is important as all nations work towards the professionalization of early childhood education, and will be particularly relevant to peoples of the Pacific and Australasia.
Judith L. Evans, UNICEF Consultant on Early Childhood Care and Development:
Supporting Indigenous Children's Development describes a unique approach to curriculum ... that creates community-based, face-to-face learning to meet the needs and interests of the community while advancing post-secondary education credentials.
