In this presentation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbQGhP4xQkw, Anne Tenning tackles the issues faced by her own experiences and those of the Indigenous youth in the education system. She discusses approaches that educators can take to improve representations of and engagement with Indigenous peoples and their histories in the classroom.
This presentation by Anne Tenning is part of the “Teaching and Communicating Indigenous History” Panel at the 9th Canada’s History Forum, Engaging Authentic Indigenous Histories that was held on November 27, 2016 in Ottawa. This event was organized by Canada’s National History Society and the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation. Anne speaks of educators who continue to commit themselves to seeing the reconciliation of Indigenous students and how she was given more opportunities to succeed because she knew one teacher who made a life-changing difference in her life.
