The purpose of this paper is to explore teachers' pedagogical practice in an indigenouselementary school, by looking at the teacher's knowledge-type and capacity as a transformativeintellectual in terms of critical pedagogy theory. Given that teachers' pedagogical practiceis not confined to the classroom and that they should be able to treat all ethnic groupsequally, this study will also look at teachers' “multicultural capacity” as being part of theirpedagogical practice. Teachers in indigenous areas, then, are expected to have various capacitieswhich can allow them to respond to students' different life experiences and culturalbackgrounds.
