Abstract	In this transdisciplinary study, the author explores mother-centered cultures and how they are represented in curricula. Matricultures are egalitarian cultures founded on the maternal value of caring relationality. Matricultures embed the maternal in their cultural cosmologies and respect mothering as a condition for cultural continuity. This is the first Canadian curricular study related to matricultures. Answering George Sefa Dei's call to transgressive educators, this chapter exposes and deconstructs Modernity/coloniality's systems of domination that subjugate knowledges of ancient and extant matricultures. Re-storying matricultures is transgressive when it exposes the methods by which colonizers imposed European heteropatriarchy on the cultures they colonized. The author's Listening for Silences methods for researching subjugated knowledges are based on Bacchi's critical approach to policy analysis, which assumes that the absence of policy discourse around a social problem is an indicator that it has been rendered invisible, has not been problematized, and thus cannot be interrogated. Strategies for re-storying learning about matricultures include (a) interrogating the intersectional impacts of Modernity/coloniality's systems of domination, (b) problematizing the imposition of Eurocentric heteropatriarchy on Indigenous matricultures in Canada, (c) studying Earth-centered philosophies and non-Abrahamic religions for evidence of the maternal in cosmology, and (d) exploring the diversity of Indigenous matricultures in Canada.
