"The Myth of the Two-Worlds Metaphor "
Presenter: Cynthia Benally, Ed.D.
ABSTRACT:
Mythologies shape how people perceive their lives and those of others. A persistent settler metaphor is the “walking in two worlds.” It is used in public discussions to describe in a dichotomous manner the world of white, settler society being in one world and Native societies in another. Dr. Benally presents the findings from her research on the use of the “two-worlds” metaphor in education literature. One use of the metaphor is to describe the assimilated “Indian,” one that conforms and abides to the settlers’ wants and desires. The other themes are from Native perspectives and are examples of sovereign assertions.
