This Part 2 course will build on the understanding of Indigenous histories, traditions, cultures, and world view covered in Part 1. We will journey through this course together with kindness to each other and with ourselves as we better understand the many ways of knowing and being. This course focuses on how to incorporate Indigenous knowledge, history and current issues into pedagogy and classroom practice to support all students moving towards reconciliation.

This course will be using technology such as virtual classrooms, audio recordings, and video assignments in an effort to disrupt text communication and respect the oral tradition of Indigenous people.
