“…In many Indigenous communities in the Americas, everyday practices are built on a cosmology that emphasizes the four ethical qualities of relationality, reciprocity, responsibility and respect (Brayboy et al, 2012; Elliott & Meixi, 2022, this volume; Leonard, 2021). As we see it, LOPI is based on concepts that fit with the cosmology of Indigenous Knowledge Systems, such as inclusiveness, relationality, mutuality, collaboration, autonomy, mutual respect, shared purpose, dynamic process, presence, embodiment, guidance.…”

“…Children are often pleased and proud to be able to help by being acomedido/a (Gaskins, 2020; Murray & Tizzoni, 2022, this volume). Relatedly, Elliott and Meixi (2022, this volume) refer to the honour and affirmation of being included in a responsible role in an important community event.…”

“…An important aspect of why people do their part in LOPI is to be in relation with the group, in cohesive alignment with other people and with the direction of the group. Pelletier refers to this as having a sense of community consciousness (Pelletier, 1969; see also Elliott & Meixi, 2022, this volume); in Mexican Spanish, this is well expressed by the term convivir .…”

“…Individuals contribute within an ecology in which all participants play their part, whether humans, other creatures or the rest of the world. Elliott and Meixi (2022, this volume, p. 569) describe this in terms of the individual being ‘deeply embedded within and emergent from a vast system of human and greater-than-human relations’ (see also Alonqueo et al, 2022, this volume; Bang et al, 2016; García, 2015; Leonard, 2021; Lorente Fernández, 2015; Remorini, 2015; Viveiros de Castro, 2015). In contrast, in ALI, rather than transforming one’s participation in the process of collaborative, mutual participation, the individual is considered separate and the goal is to control other people and the more-than-human world.…”

This article focuses on communities' contributions to a way of learning that seems to be common in many Indigenous communities of the Americas and among people with heritage in such communities: Learning by Observing and Pitching In to family and community endeavours (LOPI). We briefly contrast this with community contributions in Assembly-Line Instruction, a way of learning that is common in Western schooling, to highlight the distinct contributions of community in these two ways of learning. We theoretically situate the two ways of learning, considering communities and individuals as mutually constituting aspects of the process of life, not as separate entities. Then we discuss the contributions of community to the reasons that people participate, how they interact, and the underlying theory of learning and purpose of learning in LOPI. We briefly address the role of community in how people communicate with each other and evaluate learning. To conclude, we consider the prevalence of LOPI both within Indigenous-heritage communities of the Americas and elsewhere, and our hopes for the contribution of describing this way of learning. RESUMENEste artículo se enfoca en las contribuciones de la comunidad a un modo de aprender que parece ser común en muchas comunidades indígenas de las Américas y entre los pueblos descendientes de estas comunidades: Aprender por medio de Observar y Acomedirse en actividades de la familia y la comunidad (LOPI, por sus siglas en inglés). Comparamos brevemente estas contribuciones de la comunidad en Instrucción en Línea de Ensamblaje, un modo de aprendizaje común en las escuelas occidentales, para poner de relieve las contribuciones distintas de la comunidad en estos dos tipos de aprendizaje. Situamos teóricamente ambos modos de aprender, mientras consideramos a las comunidades y a las personas como aspectos mutuamente constituyentes del proceso de vida, no como entidades separadas. Después discutimos las contribuciones de la comunidad en torno a las razones por las que participan las personas, cómo interactúan, y la teoría ARTICLE HISTORY

“…The third article (Why and how communities Learn by Observing and Pitching In: Indigenous axiologies and ethical commitments in LOPI), by Elliot and Meixi (2022), brings us a profound view of relationality as responsibility to traditions and with human neighbours and other beings and the earth. They propose that the LOPI paradigm, developed primarily based on Indigenous community life, can be placed within a broader paradigm known as Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS; Urrieta, 2015).…”

This article presents conceptual and empirical advances relating to Learning by Observing and Pitching In to family and community endeavours (LOPI). The opening article offers a new version of the LOPI model and a focused analysis of the key role of community. The other nine articles provide evidence of the social organization of LOPI, based on an axiology of relationality, respect, reciprocity and pitching in, in many Indigenous communities of the Americas. They discuss Indigenous theory and axiologies, as well as ethical attunements in LOPI; the importance of observation, respect, autonomy and laughter for learning; and the opportunities that LOPI brings to the revitalization of Indigenous languages, in learning at school and in online gaming communities. This issue shows how the LOPI paradigm is based in relationality and respect in communion among people, other beings and the land that we inhabit. RESUMENEste artículo presenta avances conceptuales y empíricos acerca de Aprender por medio de Observar y Acomedirse en las actividades de la familia y la comunidad (Learning by Observing and Pitching In in family and community endeavours, LOPI). El artículo inicial presenta una nueva versión del modelo del paradigma LOPI y precisiones sobre el papel clave que tiene la comunidad. Otros nueve artículos presentan evidencias de la organización social de LOPI fundamentada en una axiología de la relacionalidad, el respeto, la reciprocidad y el acomedirse en muchas comunidades indígenas de las Américas. Se tratan la teoría y las axiologías indígenas, así como afinaciones éticas en LOPI; la importancia de la observación, el respeto, la autonomía y la risa para el aprendizaje; y las oportunidades que LOPI aporta en la revitalización de lenguas indígenas, en el aprendizaje en la escuela y en las comunidades de los juegos en línea. El número muestra cómo el paradigma LOPI está basado en la relacionalidad y respeto en comunión entre personas, otros seres y la tierra que habitamos.

Reducing Indigenous suicide: Recognizing vital land and food systems for livelihoods

Colonial trauma poses a significant risk to the physical, intellectual, and mental health of Indigenous youth and young adults. Education and mental health scholars are increasingly concerned about the emotional wellbeing of young people, particularly as rates of suicide have increased across the United States. With interest in identifying the unique contextual dynamics involved in understanding Indigenous suicide, this work considers characteristics related to colonialism that may uncover strategies for both educators and mental health practitioners that address disparities. Drawing on a larger ethnographic study, this inquiry asks how settler encroachment upon Indigenous land and food systems is related to death by suicide from the perspective of Cowichan Tribes members. Comprehensive semi‐structured interviews were conducted (n = 21); each interview was audio‐recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data were analyzed deductively based upon a priori suppositions related to settler colonial theory. Cowichan members' narrated explanations for suicide rooted in disruptions to (1) relationships with the land and (2) traditional food systems. They described how settler encroachment infringed upon their subsistence way of living and introduced incongruent constructions of nature‐culture relations (e.g., humans as distinct and separate from the natural world). Settler futurity is secured through the arrogation of territorial dominance coupled with physical or conceptual acts of erasure, placing Indigenous lives and lifeways at risk. One outcome of the disruption to Indigenous collective capacities is a dramatic increase in Indigenous suicide.
