The @Wanuskewin_Park brought bison back to the land. Candace Wasacase-Lafferty shared how healing and powerful it was for her and a group of women who have survived so much watch as the first female buffalos ran free on the land. #ExchangeOurWorld https://t.co/kmgdcdt6Sk
An Elder shared today that when he was taken from his family and placed in a residential school, his name was replaced with a number… there is so much trauma and pain we need to learn more about. https://t.co/1wqklWqJ14

Love the language of when talking about realities in the United State… saying the “Lower 48” to separate and acknowledge that Alaska and Hawaii often face very different realities.

Trying to keep in mind that to understand a school, the district (board in Canada) you have to listen to ALL stakeholders. Finally had a chance to talk to teachers today— they had varied views from what admin has shared.
This school Board (board=district) has a position of System Principal. Her job is to welcome new students to the board, support language learners, and orient families to the school system. She supported the school we are visiting by giving a presentation on the school board.
#IndigenousHistoryMonth More learning! Great space to start - listening to Indigenous podcasts. Unreserved is fantastic! Radio space for Indigenous voices with your host Rosanna Deerchild. #ListenNow@CBCUnreserved
