Truth and Reconciliation Lesson Plan
Language is deeply connected to who we are, where we come from, and how we understand the world around us. In this lesson, we’ll explore how reclaiming Indigenous languages helps restore identity, heal communities, and move us toward Reconciliation.
Cultural Appropriation vs. Appreciation
This lesson examines the difference between cultural appropriation and appreciation by exploring real-life examples and reflective scenarios. Through discussion, case studies, and activities, students learn to recognize harmful appropriation, practise respectful appreciation, and consider their own role in cultural exchange.
