Life in Residential School
Question and Answer format
Sometimes our cultural presenters are called on to present material about Indian Residential Schools. This can be a difficult topic to cover, particularly with Elementary-aged students. This slide show uses a Q&A format to help students consider the contrast between "school" for students attending an IRS and the educational experience of students today. Presenters can choose to deepen any one of the elements depending on the audience. There are resources listed in the notes attached to each slide.

Principles that Guide BC’s Relationship with Indigenous Peoples
Renewing
a
relationship with Indigenous peoples
"The Province wants to renew its relationship with Indigenous peoples in B.C., and affirms its desire to achieve a government-to-government relationship based on respect, recognition and exercise of Aboriginal title and rights and to the reconciliation of Aboriginal and Crown titles and jurisdictions. We agree to work with Indigenous peoples to jointly design, construct and implement principled, pragmatic and organized approaches informed by the Supreme Court of Canada Tsilhqot'in decision and other established law, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) Calls to Action."
