8th Fire Documentary Series (4 Episodes)

After a bit of a debate in my group about whether or not aboriginal students should get special treatment from educational institutions such as UBC I mentioned to my group that this documentary would be worth watching. I feel that these are current events, something that we will face in our classrooms and all perspective teachers should be aware of the generational issues and adversity that face aboriginal youth and be prepared to give more support to these students so that we can work to correct some of this generational damage. Teachers have a huge role to play in a reconciliation and healing between first nations and other more privileged Canadians.
