The 100 Years of Loss is an amazing teacher activity guide which can be ordered through the Legacy of Hope. This national indigenous charitable organization has curated an educational kit with full pull down blinds that fill an entire wall of a classroom with the timeline of residential schools throughout Canada. The kit also includes full lesson with resources, videos, and rubrics connected to competencies. You can also download some of the resources directly from the website. The resource should be a staple in school libraries or within the Social Studies department. All lessons are suitable for grades 8-12.
I just recently visited the website and noticed the podcast section. I will be looking into this over the week. It is one the most authentic sources I have used and helps with indigenizing curriculum with the voices of those who lived and experienced the residential school system.

Thanks for sharing this resource and website. I briefly listened and looked at the podcast descriptors and already can find connections to ideas and themes explored in my classes. Podcasts or oral storytelling is really valuable, I find. Listening to the voices of those willing to share their stories and the emotions behind it all is so powerful, evoking empathy and understanding and connection…
