So, rather than continue a positioning of Indigenous knowledges and Indigenous people as marginalised, oppressed, excluded and failing to benefit from HPE or PETE, this paper seeks to view what Indigenous preservice teachers and their practicum supervising teachers bring to HPE and PETE in the Australian context. John Dewey’s (1916; 1938) notion of growth and Sharon Todd’s (2014; 2015) ideas about the liminality of pedagogical relations are adopted and enable us to discuss preservice teachers with different sets of experiences and knowledges outside of ‘the norm’ as having resources in and for PETE. We argue that these knowledges and experiences brought into education also have the potential for disturbing norms in PETE and thus fostering the liminality of the pedagogical relations. The purpose of the paper is thus to reformulate Indigenous preservice teachers experiences and knowledges as resources in order to better understand the process of becoming a HPE teacher.
