Q8 Phyllis Webstad author of Phyllis Orange Shirt opened many conversations in our class about residential schools, in a kindergarten-appropriate way. I just started reading The Inconvenient Indian: A Curious Account of Native People in North America by Thomas King #shelfietalk

@explorearlyears I will be checking this out, thank you!

[Stephanie C @Stephaniek_c]

@Lovely155G I feel sooooo many are oblivious to intergenerational trauma. The drinking stigma has always bothered me, but then reading about why this stigma existed gave me even more understanding

[Stephanie C @Stephaniek_c]

@ShawnFairweathr @Lovely155G @woodlandcc Ooo this is close for me too!!

Q7 The importance of individual actions on the road to reconciliation. Working towards active allyship, continuing my education of Indigenous history and the Indian Act, researching/reading Indigenous literature, and attending and participating in Indigenous events #shelfietalk

Q6 14 “Attend an Indigenous film festival.” I will keep up to date with the imageNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival and their Facebook page for upcoming events. Their page contains lots of content, TIFF presented a conversation with the creators of Reservation Dogs #shelfietalk

@Emmaolivia77 What a great connection, I hope to take similar steps in the future

[Stephanie C @Stephaniek_c]

@Susy19781978 Great point! It's so important to speak up against discrimination

[Stephanie C @Stephaniek_c]

Q5 I am bringing more Indigenous stories into our classroom by building a collection of children’s books by Indigenous authors. I engage the children in discussions while reading these stories. We discuss what’s happening, how the characters are feeling and why #shelfietalk

[Stephanie C @Stephaniek_c]

@annefoleyrece Many schools in Ontario have an Indigenous Knowledge Guide, but I think we have only seen him once at our school, definitely worth looking into and reaching out.

[Stephanie C @Stephaniek_c]

@MsRMaguire Definitely, I will be working on letters to members of parliament

[Stephanie C @Stephaniek_c]

@MsRMaguire I was shocked to read that the public learned about the treatment of children in residential schools, and how many were losing their lives, why did the schools continue all the way to 1995?? They should have been shut down decades before

[Stephanie C @Stephaniek_c]

Q4 Education for Reconsiliation 63 ii “Sharing information and best practices on teaching curriculum related to residential schools and Aboriginal history” is more relevant actions are important for reconciliation and I will connect with the Equity team in my school #shelfietalk

[Stephanie C @Stephaniek_c]

@Emmaolivia77 Reading about how the Indigenous respected women, and that they took part in governance made me severely question our entire political system!

[Stephanie C @Stephaniek_c]

Q3 I have a better understanding of the Indian Act. I gained knowledge of the history of stereotypes, stigmas, and intergenerational trauma Indigenous peoples’ have endured for generations. I learned about Calls to Action I can take to make changes in my community #shelfietalk
