    to engage their students with the topic of indigenous education. These resources were
    chosen based on the diversity of themes with which they engage, providing a holistic
    overview of indigenous ways of knowing and beliefs, and the historical and
    contemporary challenges faced by indigenous people in Canada.

    As highlighted in Alberta Education’s Learn Alberta Resource Search, and as


    discussed in the Fox Group’s Resource Evaluation project, this cross-curricular
    resource provides historically accurate and culturally authentic information and
    was designed to help teachers understand the holistic nature of Indigenous ways
    of knowing; to provide opportunities for Indigenous peoples to share their
    perspectives on topics important to them; and to demonstrate Indigenous
    perspectives in teaching and learning experiences.

    This resource offers information and sample strategies that classroom teachers can
    use to help their Aboriginal students be more successful learners. It provides
    information on Aboriginal cultures and perspectives and discusses the importance
    of family and community involvement. It includes shared wisdom from Elders
    and Aboriginal scholars and related stories shared by teachers of Aboriginal
    students. Further, as Dr. Danlyuk pointed out in her Week 8 video, the graphic-
    organizers in the appendix section are good for visual learners. Lastly, Appendix
    6 provides authentic criteria to help educators evaluate classroom appropriate
    resources in the future.

    As a printable guide to the web-link listed in Week 3 as a New Resource for


    Teachers, Weaving Ways is an introductory guide to support teachers in
    considering how Indigenous knowledge systems can support a rich experience for
    students in their classrooms. Provided through the Alberta Regional Professional
    Development Consortia (ARPDC), this easily referenced and applied work
    presents a four-quadrant approach to incorporating indigenous ways of knowing
    into our learning environment – and indeed into our way of living.

    This clip builds upon the “For Angela” film, as in the video the speaker discusses
    the real life experience of racial harassment which she and her daughter were
    subjected too. This talk could be used in conjunction with the aforementioned
    film to illustrate the reality of this overt racism, and the impact that it has on those
    who suffer from it, in addition to delving into the impacts of ongoing colonialism
    which are at the root of this hateful behavior. This talk also contains a variety of
    important components of indigenous ways of knowing such as story-telling;
    specifically lessons imparted through stories, which convey some aspect of
    indigenous beliefs and ways of knowing.

    Having students watch this video followed up by a class discussion can be an eye-
    opening experience for students who are unaware of the colonial history of
    Canada, which this video is affirming. While the apology occured in 2008, the
    ongoing impacts of intergenerational trauma as a direct result of the residential
    school system continue to impact indigneous people today, which is an important
    fact for students to be aware of.

    Jordan-Fenton, C. (2013) When I was Eight.

    We feel that when I Was Eight is a great resource, because it is accessible to a


    younger audience. We believe they will be able to see themselves in this story
    which will help students develop compassion and empathy. This book is a great
    introduction to the history of residential schools in Canada. After reading this
    book, students will have a greater understanding of severity of residential schools
    and the impact they had on Indigenous communities. We feel this is also a great
    opportunity to bring up discussion of intergenerational trauma and the effects the
    history of residential schools continue to have Indigenous people in Canada.

    King, T. (2010) Boards.

    Boards, by Thomas King provides an incredible opportunity to introduce an


    interdisciplinary unit with students as they begin to study the complex history of
    Indigenous people in Canada. This short story does a wonderful job of expressing
    the prejudiced Indigenous people face in Canada. It highlights how Indigenous
    people have been robbed of their identity and asked to conform to a new one as a
    result of colonization. This source is a useful introduction to literature or a social
    studies unit.

    Myre, N. (2010) “As I Am”. Retrieved from: https://www.nfb.ca/film/as_i_am/

    This short documentary is produced by Indigenous people, featuring a poem written by


    Mohawk writer Janet Marie Rogers. We feel this is a powerful resource as it challenges
    stereotypes of Indigenous people in Canada. This source provides an opportunity to
    discuss bias that individual have, as well as larger scale basis that exist resulting in
    oppression. Since the video features a poem this also provides an opportunity to
    incorporate interdiscipity.

    Prouty, D., & Botkin, N.T. (1993). For Angela. [Motion picture] Canada: National Film Board of
    Canada

    This film is an ideal choice for teachers to use to introduce the topic of active
    racism, as the film centers around a mother and daughter who are verbally
    harassed as a direct result of their indigeneity. Having students engage with this
    topic is an important part of recognizing privilege, as students in the dominant
    group; while certainly vulnerable to bullying, will never know the feeling of being
    mistreated simply for their inherent, racial and ethnic background.

    Pruden, H. UBC TEFA Talks Two Spirit with Harlan Pruden [video]. Retrieved from
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Tb07GDNpow

    This talk engages with the topic of two-spirit individuals from the indigenous
    perspective. Exposing students to this topic is extremely important. It is likely
    they have not been exposed to this knowledge from outside sources, and it can
    open students minds to the diversity of gender and sexual identities. These
    identities have existed in indigenous communities for thousands of years, which
    our contemporary society is largely yet to recognize.
