At the UIEC_TDSB learning from and with Elder Dr. Duke Redbird. A humbling opportunity. #indigenouseducation Aboriginal Education Toronto District School Board

As educators, circumstances are forcing us to rework and reimagine our practice. It’s overwhelming, but it is also an opportunity to grow. I‘ll be sharing teachings from Indigenous educators that have helped and are helping me grow. #IndigenousEducation UIEC_TDSB Toronto District School Board

Dearest Toronto District School Board Staff! Please join our wonderful UIEC_TDSB Instructional Leaders tomorrow as they lead a Virtual Circle and discussion on Indigenous Education and Remote Learning. DM for the link!

It’s National Indigenous History Month. This graphic novel anthology is a collection of stories about Indigenous sovereignty and Canada’s colonial project. And it references other resources. A great way to start or continue our learning. UIEC_TDSB Toronto District School Board Aboriginal Education

For people in Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg territory, which includes Toronto, Doug Williams’s book is an excellent place to learn about this land’s past, present, and future. For National Indigenous History Month, consider continuing your learning with this book. UIEC_TDSB Toronto District School Board

For National Indigenous History Month, try this dominant-paradigm-smashing book, recommended to me by one of my most important teachers, Elder Dr. Duke Redbird. Learn, amongst other things, why the Bering Strait Theory is often referred to as the BS Theory. Toronto District School Board UIEC_TDSB

This National Indigenous History Month, swing over to NFB.ca. They have been supporting Indigenous filmmakers for a long time. If you haven’t watched this essential film, please do. The “Oka Crisis” was part of my own waking up. nfb.ca/film/kanehsata…

Subtitled “The Wétiko Disease of Exploitation, Imperialism, and Terrorism,” this 1978 book by Jack D. Forbes names the illness of a culture that celebrates destroyers of life. Feels right with all these statues coming down. #nationalindigenoushistorymonth UIEC_TDSB Toronto District School Board

The essay by Niigaan Sinclair that helps introduce this book tells stories about 2-Spirit people first engaging with settlers, long before the term 2-spirit was created. This collection is great whenever, but especially for Pride and Indigenous History Month. UIEC_TDSB Toronto District School Board

Grateful for an energizing year-end virtual sharing circle with NAC1O teachers UIEC_TDSB . Dr. Elder Duke Redbird opened with a poem and closed with beautiful words. We looked at diverse, engaging and powerful artworks by NAC1O students across the city Lee Sheppard

Brand new AQ offering! Would love to learn with you in a very engaging course @YorkUedPL apps.edu.yorku.ca/pdis/course/ad…

“Walter Lightning, of the Samson Cree Nation, learned that the compassionate mind combines physical, spiritual, emotional, and intellectual learning with humility, truth, and love.” Jo-Anne Archibald in Indigenous Storywork; Educating the Heart, Mind, Body, and Spirit (2008)

“Only when our hearts, minds, bodies, and spirits work together do we truly have Indigenous education.” Jo-ann Archibald in Indigenous Storywork: Educating the Heart, Mind, Body, and Spirit (2008). This is the most succinct statement I know of this central concept. UIEC_TDSB
