Aboriginal Perspectives in the Classroom: A Journey to Healing
Bachewich, Laurie
BU Journal of Graduate Studies in Education, v9 n1 p8-13 2017
Aboriginal perspectives are a very important topic in today's educational system. There is an urgent need for educators to infuse these perspectives in classrooms and school culture, ultimately benefitting communities. However, in doing so, there are several challenges, including how to infuse these perspectives respectfully while embracing the seven teachings of the good life. A variety of resources is available to help educators do this challenging, but rewarding work. Once the educational system as a whole embraces the truth of our Canadian history, faces the challenges, and celebrates diversity, true infusion will happen and the journey to healing will begin.
