Mod. 2/ Post 4: Indigenization Guides

https://bccampus.ca/projects/indigenization/indigenization-guides/

“These guides are the result of the Indigenization Project, a collaboration between BCcampus and the Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills and Training. The project was supported by a steering committee of Indigenous education leaders from BC universities, colleges, and institutes, the First Nations Education Steering Committee, the Indigenous Adult and Higher Learning Association, and Métis Nation BC.”  https://bccampus.ca/projects/indigenization/indigenization-guides/

Though these guides were made to support systemic change in post-secondary institutions, a lot of the information could be used in a secondary school setting.  They are meant to help readers:

  • increase your awareness of Indigenous People, our histories, decolonization, and reconciliation
  • enhance your knowledge of how Indigenous history and realities in Canada affect relationships and how this may influence how you work with Indigenous people and colleagues in post-secondary education      (https://opentextbc.ca/indigenizationfoundations/front-matter/foundations-guide-overview/)

This isn’t a definitive guide, but more of a jumping off point in changing the way we look at our institutions, staff, and students and how we can make sure everyone has a voice.
