Indigenous Education Resources
As teachers, we have a responsibility to take action in our classrooms and communities to champion the message that every child matters. As part of this commitment to action, we strongly encourage all Catholic teachers to engage with their students in the important and necessary discussions of the histories of Indigenous peoples and Canada’s residential school system.
June is National Indigenous History Month, June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day, and September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (NDTR) and Orange Shirt Day.
To support you in your learning, instructional practices, and as part of our shared commitment to Truth and Reconciliation, please see the following collection of resources that the Association has put together to support NDTR / Orange Shirt Day-specific activities and classroom activities celebrating National Indigenous Peoples Month and Day.
This pages also provides information, lesson plans, resources, activities, and more, all related to Indigenous issues and education, which can be incorporated into your classroom lessons and teaching practices. Within each category, resources are listed alphabetically.
