“We seem to have lost the wisdom of Indingenous people, which dictated that in any major decision, the first consideration was how will this decision we're making today affect people in the future? These days, decisions are made based on the bottom line”-Jane Goodall #shelfietalk

A8. If you are looking for more resources to read by Indigenous authors may I suggest Call Me Indian by Fred Sasakamoose. #ShelfieTalk #BECEUNB

[Brit Coleman @BritColeman2]

A7. Thank you Bob Joseph. You have deepened my thinking about the hardships faced by Indigenous people and broadened my knowledge on Indigenous history. We need to spread the word, educate others and take a stance so that history never repeats itself. #ShelfieTalk #BECEUNB

Each of you are making a difference as you commit to one thing you can do to help change the world. #shelfietalk

A6. By familiarizing myself with the Indian Act, I know I can shed light on this to family and friends by encouraging them to commit to helping me change the world. All it takes is one person to make a change and I am committed to encouraging others to do so #ShelfieTalk #BECEUNB

A5. I make a continuous effort to spread awareness in my classroom through inclusiveness, appropriately sharing my knowledge with my students, teaching them about equality, and demonstrating the positive change we want to see. #ShelfieTalk #BECEUNB

A4. 16. “We call upon post-secondary institutions to create university and college degree and diploma programs in Aboriginal languages.” #ShelfieTalk #BECEUNB

It’s conversations like these that are beneficial to educators and will help us feel more comfortable educating our students! #shelfietalk

A3. I am upset to say, there was so much I wasn’t aware of. I have a tremendous amount of empathy for how Indigenous people were wrongfully treated. This book was extremley eye opening and heart breaking that our nation was responsible for such behaviour. #ShelfieTalk #BECEUNB

[Brit Coleman @BritColeman2]

A2. The sheer lack of humanity demonstrated towards Indigenous people and how we were in the dark on this matter for so long. Knowing we can’t change the past, makes me want to ensure I am contributing to a better future. #ShelfieTalk #BECEUNB

A1. This book puts into perspective everything Canadians need to know about our Indigenous history. It highlights their hardships and the devastating effects it has had on our Indigenous culture today. It is a promising step towards reconciliation. #ShelfieTalk #BECEUNB

Countdown is on! #ShelfieTalk #BECEUNB

"Qualitative scholarship has consistently pointed out that all students, regardless of race or gender, actively read and write" (David Kirkland).

Our children are our future. Teach them that equality matters! #BECEUNB

"A thinking

exist unless it's also
a "doing" curriculum" (Katie Wood Ray).

Shake things up and invite your students to take the lead, while we follow. Allow your students to be the curriculum! #BECEUNB
