Educator Information
"This is a great resource for those who are just beginning to work with Indigenous children and are concerned about teaching with authenticity. This resource very firmly guides educators through what is considered appropriate, and what isn't, from an Indigenous perspective in the classroom. Therefore it could be easily taken the wrong way and I would recommend that while using this resource that you openly have conversation with your Indigenous Education staff about what you're reading. Currently several of the Indigenous titles are out of print but they are such well known books that they likely can be found in your DRC." -Terri Mack
