Righting Canada’s Wrongs Resource Guide for Indigenous Teachers and Students
contributions by Lindsay Brant, Kyle Herbert, and Sherry Procunier
edited by Jana Girdauskas
A resource guide for the Righting Canada’s Wrongs Indigenous Studies set that equips educators working with Indigenous students to teach about the history of the Canadian government’s racist policies and conduct toward Indigenous Peoples.
The Resource Guide for Indigenous Teachers and Students is a companion to the Residential Schools, Inuit Relocations and Sixties Scoop titles in the Righting Canada’s Wrongs series. This guide aims to equip educators working with First Nations, Inuit or Métis students to teach about the history of the Canadian government’s racist policies and conduct toward Indigenous Peoples.
The lesson plans, created by Indigenous educators Jana Girdauskas, Lindsay Brant, Kyle Herbert and Sherry Procunier, draw on lived experiences and ask students to make connections between their own communities and the historic injustices of residential schools, Inuit relocations and the Sixties Scoop. The lessons centre Indigenous perspectives and knowledges and are designed to be trauma informed, culturally responsive and respectful, to foster awareness, encourage reflection and honour Indigenous voices.
FEATURES:
• Created by Indigenous educators for use with First Nations, Inuit and Métis
students
• Centred on Indigenous perspectives and lived experiences
• Includes 15 creative and curriculum-linked lesson plans with activities
across multiple subject areas — visual arts, writing, drama, science, media,
environmental studies and more
