National Truth and Reconciliation Day Sept. 30 honours the children who survived Residential Schools and remember those who did not, many Canadians across the country wear an orange shirt. Thank you Mr. Anderson, Mr. Klein, Autumn and Marshal for your informative presentation.

Another reason why we ask Ts not to have Ss “paint like Morrisseau” because what r we actually teaching them? It’s ok to copy w/o permission.

Instead have Ss learn abt Indigenous artists who they r & why they chose their style.

As National Day for Truth & Reconciliation nears, here’s a gentle reminder of ways of being that support conversations in homes, schools & workplaces. And not just for next week, but the whole year.

Shi-shi-etko by Nicola I. Campbell is the beautifully written story of a young girl gathering up memories of home days before leaving for residential school. #OrangeShirtDay

Educators can still do what’s right & look for opportunities to include us in their classrooms. Indigenous Peoples come from sophisticated, complex and diverse civilizations & nations. Our knowledge systems are incredibly scientific and have so much to offer.
