I'm an Inuit S at a white high school doing a research on FNMI issues. How has your art helped you feel connected to your Indigenous history?

@tagaq @TanyaTalaga @riit_music @jdutchermusic @christibelcourt @AndersenAngus @TheCandyShow @TheJerryCans @TheDHTaylor @waub I had no idea that throat singing was banned, it shows how much we don't learn in school even though we should.

@TheCandyShow @tagaq @TanyaTalaga @riit_music @jdutchermusic @christibelcourt @AndersenAngus @TheJerryCans @TheDHTaylor @waub That's so inspiring! Thank you for the response. What do you think we should do to engage students to learn about FMNI issues today?

[Asha @MossDavies]

@christibelcourt @tagaq @TanyaTalaga @riit_music @jdutchermusic @AndersenAngus @TheCandyShow @TheJerryCans @TheDHTaylor @waub Yes, a lot of my classmates don't know much about Indigenous history and culture.

[Asha @MossDavies]

@Mimiges @tagaq @twinflamesband @TanyaTalaga @BuffySteMarie @JayOdjick @Alethea_Aggiuq @TheJerryCans Yes I agree that's something that needs to be discussed as well.

I am a grade 10 student doing research on the use of Indigenous art to educate Canadian youth on issues in First Nations communities. Help me start start a conversation please!

@TheDHTaylor @waub @tagaq @TanyaTalaga @riit_music @jdutchermusic @christibelcourt @AndersenAngus @TheCandyShow @TheJerryCans How do you think we can encourage other educators to teach students about issues in Indigenous communities in Canada? As an Inuit student I don't feel represented in the classroom.

[Asha @MossDavies]

@waub @tagaq @TanyaTalaga @riit_music @jdutchermusic @christibelcourt @AndersenAngus @TheCandyShow @TheJerryCans @TheDHTaylor Do you think art can be used to teach Canadian youth about Indigenous history? Should Indigenous art be implemented more in class? For example, reading more novels and stories written by FMNI authors in class or studying FMNI music and illustrations.

Another example of program cuts by school boards due to increases in class size averages by @fordnation & @LisaThompsonMPP.

Loss of Indigenous Studies & Language programs will impede #Reconciliation & deny valuable learning opportunities

Indigenous students have an opportunity to get a head start on their #university studies through the Summer Indigenous Institute! The free transition program is for #Indigenous students attending @AlgomaU @mylakehead @LaurentianU @NipissingU in the fall!

A beautiful sculpture made by my incredibly talented uncle, Idris Moss-Davies. If you're interested in Inuit art, check him out. Support Indigenous artists!

Note to Indigenous youth:
Use your voice in the classroom! If teachers or classmates are spreading misinformation on FMNI subjects, correct them. Be confident, be proud of who you are!

I don't understand how anyone can see any benefits to and attempted cultural genocide. It's so sad how misinformed/uneducated some people are. Even worse that some of these people are running our country.

I don't think we're taught enough about First Nations history in Canada. For example, in class we discuss residential schools, but we don't learn enough about the reprecussions FMNI communities face today.
