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.
