While looking for resources on place based learning and indigenous world views I came across the Siwal Si’wes Digital Library. This wordpress website has links to what I was seeking in terms of place based learning. Although I know that place based learning is an important aspect of indigenous culture, I was looking to see how it can be woven into current curriculum topics in schools. As I delved deeper into the website, there are also links to Culture and History with a focus on topics such as history, First Nations worldviews, residential schools and reconciliation. There are also links to lesson plans for struggling readers called, The Elders are Watching, and curriculum connections to oral traditions. You can find a collection of powerful student created videos and even podcasts focusing on indigenous books.
