My Goal for this inquiry is to collect multi-media resources that can help support my students \u00a0and staff for Orange Shirt day and the continuing learning and healing around Truth and Reconciliation.<\/p>\n

I was also really interested and invested in finding resources that are by authentic and local Indigenous peoples. I wanted to focus on picture books and look for digital websites that could support the literature.<\/p>\n

Using the list of ideas and keywords I \u00a0generated in Part A as a guide, I found some excellent resources and websites to support my inquiry. I have started curating a list of books all found online.The theme of this curated collection is books that support The Truth and Reconciliation Act, the history and legacy of residential schools and Orange Shirt day which falls on September 30. Residential Schools continue to have far reaching effects on indigenous and non-indigenous communities. Starting this conversation is just the first step in this long and necessary process. Sometimes the easiest way to start the conversation or this process is through a good quality and authentic picture book. \u00a0Below are 5 read alouds all available online. Some are read by the actual author and all of these books are authentic Indigenous texts from Canadian authors. \u00a0I have also included six interactive sites that support these books and the important work of reconciliation. These sites include primary sources, teacher resources, interviews and more.Please keep in mind I am still collecting and curating as I go. These lists are in progress and are by no means complete.<\/p>\n

From the author of Fatty Legs comes a story about a girl named Olemaun who is eight and knows a lot of things. But she does not know how to read. Ignoring her father\u2019s warnings, she travels far from her Arctic home to the outsiders\u2019 school to learn. The nuns at the school call her Margaret. They cut off her long hair and force her to do menial chores, but she remains strong. Her strength draws the attention of a nun who tries to break her spirit at every turn. But the young girl is more determined than ever to learn how to read. Based on the true story of Margaret Pokiak-Fenton, and complemented by stunning illustrations,\u00a0When I Was Eight<\/em>\u00a0makes residential schools accessible to younger readers but is also appropriate for any age!<\/p>\n

Shi-shi-etko just has four days until she will have to leave her family and everything she knows to attend residential school. She spends her last precious days at home marveling in the beauty of nature and her treasured family and way of life. Her mother, father, and grandmother take the time to share valuable teachings that they want her to remember. Shi-shi-etko carefully gathers her memories for safekeeping. This book is for all ages and tells the story from the child\u2019s perspective. A perspective that is profoundly positive even though she is about to experience a great loss. A very important read for all on the loss Indigenous peoples have faced because of colonialism, residential schools and racism in Canada and beyond.<\/p>\n

    When Phyllis Webstad (n\u00e9e Jack) turned six, she was sent to a residential school for the first time. On her first day at school, she proudly wore a shiny orange shirt that her Granny had bought for her. When she arrived at school, she was told that she could not wear her favourite shirt. It was taken away from her, never to be returned.\u00a0The Orange Shirt Story<\/em>\u00a0tells the true story of Phyllis and her orange shirt and of Orange Shirt Day, an important day of remembrance for Indigenous peoples and all Canadians.<\/p>\n

      When a young girl helps tend to her grandmother’s garden, she begins to see things about her grandmother that make her curious. Why does her grandmother have long braided hair and wear beautifully coloured clothing? Why does she speak another language and spend so much time with her family? As she asks her grandmother about these things, she is told about life in a residential school a long time ago, where everything was taken away.\u00a0When We Were Alone<\/em>\u00a0is a story about residential schools and the damage that ensued. This story is suitable for all ages.<\/p>\n

        From the same creators as Shi-shi-etko, <\/em>comes a book about six-year-old Shin-chi as he heads to residential school for the first time with his older sister. It is the sequel to Campbell’s\u00a0Shi-shi-etko<\/em>. The story shows children being driven away in the back of a cattle truck, Shin-chi’s sister tells him all the things they must remember about home. Shin-chi knows it will be a long time before he sees his family, not until the sockeye salmon return. Shin-chi endures a long year of hard work, hunger and loneliness before returning home to his family with his sister. This story is for all ages and although it is a sequel could be read on its own or in any order.<\/p>\n

        There is still a lot more for me to explore. I found this resource from another colleague in my class (Thank you Michelle Hoodless)<\/p>\n

        https:\/\/guides.library.ubc.ca\/c.php?g=676257&p=4765077 It is a huge list of great resources to support my topic. I plan on looking through these resources and adding to my list accordingly.<\/p>\n

        Any questions, comments or feedback is much appreciated!<\/p>\n
