TIAHUI

Our framework, TIAHUI (Nahuatl for “moving forward”), supports decolonial and rehumanizing pedagogy using three intersecting circulos: Community Agreements, the Nahui Ollin, and six tenets for decolonizing our pedagogy and practice. The TIAHUI framework is a living archive of resistance embodying Ethnic Studies organizing, decolonial pedagogy and Indigenous epistemologies, tying ancestral knowledge to the present context, as a living archive. This framework has been implemented by school districts and higher education institutions to reframe their policies and practices by including these critical and decolonial approaches in all areas of their curriculum and pedagogy, and more specifically, integrated into Ethnic Studies course work and curriculum development.
