The Indigenous people who live in Canada have always lived on this land...our ancestors didn't choose to come here. This is our home. This is our land...there's nowhere we can go...this is where we're from.

A8. If you are looking for more resources to read by Indigenous authors may I suggest Tanya Talaga's book, All Our Relations: Finding the Path Forward.

A6. I am interested in buying a piece of authentic Indigenous art to display in my home, as it will support local artists and will provide me with the opportunity to have conversation and spread awareness to those entering my home. #ShelfieTalk#BECEUNB
A7. Thank you Bob Joseph. You have deepened my thinking about my role as a parent and educator. Moving forward I will continue to learn alongside the children, as we gain knowledge, learn perspectives, share stories and the history of Indigenous people. #ShelfieTalk#BECEUNB
A5. As an educator, we shape the views of children, we teach history and culture and encourage children to ask questions. It is our job to provide an inclusive environment that respects the rights of everyone; acknowledging the truth and spreading awareness. #ShelfieTalk#BECEUNB
A4. 5. “We call upon the federal, provincial, territorial, and Aboriginal governments to develop culturally appropriate parenting programs for Aboriginal families.” #ShelfieTalk#BECEUNB
A3. I have a stronger understanding now of the history of our Indigenous community and how they have been dehumanized and demoralized. It helped me to better comprehend what they encountered and its devastating effects on Indigenous peoples. #ShelfieTalk#BECEUNB
A1. An informative book regarding Indigenous history, Indian Act and the effects if had on Indigenous people today. It provides us with ideas on how to work towards healing and reconciliation. A must read for all Canadians to help us learn and understand. #ShelfieTalk#BECEUNB
“Equality is not equity. We cannot treat all students the same and we can’t expect them to write the same. It means exploring new possibilities, like tearing down those walls.”
- Dr. David Kirkland
