Module 1, Post 4 | Indigenous Education in Ontario

With a child just entering the elementary public-school system in Toronto, I looked into what kind of Indigenous education my child will be receiving from the TDSB (Toronto District School Board). I found it a bit difficult to find this information – but I located an “Arts” curriculum guide dated 2009! A note informed me that it was replacing the 1998 curriculum, and it appeared that other elements on the webpage were recently updated (2021).

In the curriculum, there were a few objectives that factored in the inclusion of First Nations, Metis, and Inuit arts and culture in Grades 3 and 6.
