CSEE Series: Beyond Land Acknowledgement: Understanding Native Histories and Students

To better understand the relationship between Indigeneity and independent schools, we must first reflect on where we’ve been. Throughout history, the educational system has restricted the exploration of Indigenous cultural values, guiding principles, languages, and ways of knowing, leading to what can feel like the erasure of Indigenous peoples. This workshop however, will challenge educators to recognize the ways in which Indigenous peoples are still here and have much to offer to our communities.
