The Syilx Okanagan Nation Alliance website has a list of anchor books teachers can use in their lessons. The books are specifically about the Syilx people, which is the community’s land on which I teach. For my final project, my partner and I researched how to use anchor books authentically in teaching. We will look to use some of these books as we develop our lesson plans.
Hello Sarah, what a wonderful resource specific to the land on which you teach. I think books provide such a wonderful way to learn, with exciting visuals and embedded life lessons. As we have discussed, stories are an integral part to Indigenous culture, using them often and with purpose is important 🙂
