Indigenous Content and Application

Here are a couple of things I found with First Peoples: A Guide for Newcomers:

-Text heavy

-Clear wording

-In my opinion, a good resource tool to read (as a teacher) before integrating Indigenous education in a lesson plan

I am imagining other ways of engaging with this guide, whether it’s more images, a list of links, graphic novel, etc. because I think the format is a bit stale. I am also wondering how many people have read it since its creation (2014) and whether it will be updated yearly, since it’s accessible online. There should also be translated versions for different languages. The guide does reference a lot of loaded topics (residential schools and an interesting myth and facts list) quite carefully. I tried researching if there was any articles or papers reviewing the guide, but I couldn’t find any online. My question is: Who is this guide best suited for? I understand that it was written for educators, newcomers, and students, but I feel like the template and content might be geared towards a certain audience.
