Resurgence: Bridging existing Curricula with Indigenous Voices and Pedagogies

Resurgence: Bridging existing Curricula with Indigenous Voices and Pedagogies
 

Session 4 of The Canadian Mosaic Spring 2024 Series: Material & Methods for Teaching Multicultural Canada 

Christine M’Lot will share collectively generated wisdom and knowledge from her groundbreaking textbook, “Resurgence.” This inspiring collection of contemporary Indigenous poetry, art, and narratives serves as a vital resource for K-12 teachers seeking to bridge existing curricula with Indigenous voices and pedagogies. Designed especially for educators, this session will provide valuable insights into Indigenous education, Indigenous content suitable for your classrooms, and Indigenous learning processes. During this workshop, we will explore the critical distinctions between Indigenization and Decolonization, offering a deeper understanding of how to create learning spaces that are both "Indigenized" and "Decolonized." Christine will provide practical guidance on thoughtfully engaging in these processes within the learning spaces you are invited to create. Together, we will share Indigenous-centered teaching practices, fostering a more inclusive and culturally responsive educational environment.
 

ABOUT THE SERIES Canada positions itself as a country made up of a cultural mosaic rather than a cultural melting pot; varied elements of ethnicity, culture, racial identity and language living side by side. Join Educators from across the United States for these webinars - available as a series or stand alone - designed to give historic context of elements of the Canadian mosaic, and to provide tools and resources to help effectively and accurately integrate the topics into curriculum.
