Indigenizing curriculum is a verb, not a noun. M3P4

As a non-Indigenous teacher, this was a great interview to watch, to hear her speak about what indigenizing curriculum should mean, how it’s a verb, not a noun.  How it’s a way to BE learning, as opposed to a specific thing to learn. I think this is a great, but challenging thing to hear for teachers who aren’t necessarily comfortable using Indigenous ways or content in their classes.  Being told that there isn’t just a list to go through, but a way of thinking and approaching things can be scary, but it is also freeing, the idea that you can start anywhere and that you don’t have to be “right” or “correct” about everything.  After all, how could I, as a non-Indigenous person, be an expert on a different culture without years of immersing myself into that culture.  But Dr. Archibald calls us to take small steps to learn along side the kids, and show them that it’s ok to ask questions and not have the answers right away.
