The TRC's Calls to Action document, The Teacher Quality Standard: Applying Foundational Knowledge About First Nation, Metis, and Inuit People, and the creation of the Alberta Education's new curriculum, all highlight the importance of Treaty Education in Alberta schools. Many of these policies are dependant on educators existing foundational knowledge about Canadian treaties. So where do we start? How can I apply my knowledge of treaties in the classroom or through whole school approaches?
Today you will be introduced to treaties and confront some of the myths that exist around land, title, ownership, and rights. You will learn more about our surrounding area and reflect on ways we can repair, renew or reinvest in relationships with the Indigenous collective in the Peace Country.
