@MegAnderson1984 You don't get university credit but you do get a certificate of completion. Here is the link: https://t.co/kwr9rLhEDe

A8 All Canadians should take the Indigenous Canada course offered by the Faculty of Native Studies at the University of Alberta. It is online and free. It explores key issues Indigenous peoples have faced in the past and today. #shelfietalk #BECEUNB

@annefoleyrece @WagameseRichard I have added this to my list to read. I just ordered Call Me Indian: From the Trauma of Residential School to Becoming the NHL's First Treaty Indigenous Player by Fred Sasakamoose.

@AngieRoss076 Yes, it is gut-wrenching. I never cried so many tears, my heart was absolutely broken for those children and families.

Another eye-opening and heartbreaking documentary available on Amazon Prime is called We Were Childre #shelfietalk #BECEUNB

Thank you @ShelfieTalk and my peers at #BECEUNB. This has been an amazing, eye-opening experience. I have learned from all of you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts honestly and respectfully. #ShelfieTalk

@unb_andrea I thought about this a lot. I grew up thinking Residential Schools, were for the "better", "helping", "they wanted to go", etc. I was made to believe that they were these wonderful private schools, that they were lucky to go to. Such a lie...

[carlyrichardsonBEd2023 @BEd2023]

@annefoleyrece Amazing! I hope you will share with me different artists you come upon!

[carlyrichardsonBEd2023 @BEd2023]

A7 Thank you, Bob Joseph. You have deepened my thinking about what I knew and now understand about Canadian Indigenous history. The effects it still has on Indigenous generations today and what I as an educator and mother can do to help change and advocate #shelfietalk #BECEUNB

@MotherGooosey @wewap Amazing! I have written this down and am excited to try it!

[carlyrichardsonBEd2023 @BEd2023]

@KaylaDawnJean This is also a big one for me. Indigo/Chapters has a great resource on their page with Indigenous authors and illustrators for all ages. I was fortunate to use my plum points to order some for my children as well as my school.

A6 #4 Donate books by Indigenous Authors to school libraries. I will donate these Children’s titles: Stolen Words, I am Not a Number, These Are My Words, Water Walker, The Water Protector, and When We Are Kind. I will also commit to #7 with my girls. #shelfietalk #BECEUNB

@MrsDevos Absolutely! Educate! Educate! Educate! This is key!!!! Knowledge is power!

[carlyrichardsonBEd2023 @BEd2023]

One of my favourite quotes...

[carlyrichardsonBEd2023 @BEd2023]

A5 It is also important to reach out to the Indigenous community. The Barrie Native Centre is an excellent resource, that I have reached out to on many occasions to educate myself and my students. #shelfietalk #BECEUNB

[carlyrichardsonBEd2023 @BEd2023]

A5 We have had made small steps with Land Acknowledgments, added literature and curriculum but what we need is number 62ii "providing the NECESSARY FUNDING to educate teachers on how to integrate Indigenous knowledge." THIS IS KEY FOR CHANGE! #shelfietalk #BECEUNB

[carlyrichardsonBEd2023 @BEd2023]

A4 Health is also important. Specifically, number 24, having medical and nursing schools require students to take a course dealing with Aboriginal health issues, history and legacy. We need to end the stigma and bias in this field. #ShelfieTalk #BECEUNB

[carlyrichardsonBEd2023 @BEd2023]

@MsMarianneEllis Yes! Yes! Yes! We have made "baby" steps in adding Indigenous education into our curriculum. Tough conversations need to be spoken, this book is a great resource for older students to get the ball rolling!
