Indigenous Sports Heroes Education Experience

While watching yesterday’s Global News, an interesting story came up that spoke about Indigenous sports heroes and their journeys. The Indigenous Sports Heroes Education Experience is a national education initiative that will be available to educators at no cost. It will highlight the stories of 14 Indigenous Hall of Famers.

I find this an interesting initiative because it will cast light on what is possible for young aspiring Indigenous athletes. I look forward to looking at this resource with an educator lens. I want to see how they engage their learners, the types of media they use, how they incorporate Indigenous voices in meaningful, respectful ways, and how they utilize technology. This website is the culmination of many great minds working together to create something great, therefore, I look forward to seeing how this effort raises Indigenous awareness.

This resource goes live, August 9, 2021, but they already have a lot of resources available to view already.

Here is a promotional clip from YouTube:

  1. This is a great find Tyler! I will be watching as well on Aug 9th. Sports is a topic that we have not touched on much. I do recall watching a video that was listed on our resources list for this class, and the speaker briefly spoke on the issue of how sports is another topic of interest for Indigenous youth and stories of previous Indigenous athletes, any artefacts and the educational activities they will be touching on will definintely be a great learning medium for learners and educators.

    Thanks for sharing this Tyler.
