What if our rubrics were wheels instead of linear progressions that give the impression of learning coming to an end? A colleague brought me this idea and I can’t stop thinking about it.
Highway of Tears by Jessica McDiarmid. Highway of Tears is a powerful story about our ongoing failure to provide justice for missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, and a testament to their families and communities' unwavering determination to find it. #shelfietalk
I perceive Indigenous People and Communities and how I will engage and encourage conversations about what has happened, what needs to happen and what we can do as Canadians to move forward with reconciliation and beginning the path for healing. #Shelfietalk
#7 Read books by Indigenous authors to my children. We Are Water Protectors by Carole Lindstrom, illustrated by Michaela Goade is a great children's picture book. It was inspired by many Indigenous-led movements across North America to protect the environment, #Shelifetalk
I speak up when I hear someone making derogatory remarks about Indigenous Peoples. Have conversations about the devastation the Canadian government caused by stripping Indigenous communities of their cultural identity and basic human rights. #Shelfietalk
10.Developing culturally appropriate curricula
We need to incorporate literature and curriculum that include Indigenous culture that is age appropriate in every classroom. Indigenous culture needs to be represented in an ethical, culturally appropriate way.#Shelfietalk
@annefoleyrece@ShelfieTalk I couldn't agree more. I had so many tabs in the book that marked facts I found hard to take. So sad. Everyone need to be informed to help in the healing process.

I understand why many Indigenous communities continue to have social, emotional, and economic struggles. The Canadian government stripped Indigenous communities of basic human rights causing many issues that will take time understanding and empathy to resolve. #Shelfietalk
A deeply disturbing part of Canadian history. A truth that must be told and truly listened to. A must read for anyone who anyone who wants to be a part of the road to reconciliation and be informed and understand the mistreatment of Indigenous people and communities.

The hardships that Indigenous People went through ,the lack of public knowledge about everything that has taken place. We were kept in the dark too long. Now is the time for us to right our wrongs and help all Indigenous People and communities in the healing process. #Shelfietalk
