Sustainability of Indigenous perspectives in HPESome research Findings In-service teachers spoke about the reasons why they did not teach Indigenous perspectives in their physical education (PE) classes. These included: • Lack of exposure to Indigenous traditional games as part of their degrees • Concerns about offending the Indigenous community through wrongly teaching the games • Uncertainties about what activities could be taught by non-Indigenous people especially dance • Lack of in-service professional development • Lack of resources and lack of time to access resources • Concerns about ‘what to take out their lessons to include Indigenous perspectives,’ • Not knowing or valuing the games • Beliefs that Indigenous content was not relevant to PE, and should or is covered in other key learning areas in the curriculum.
