Our class is made of settler people. How can we use our privilege to move our communities towards Reconciliation w/ First Nations/Indigenous Peoples? We realized that we are already doing some things & brainstormed other ideas. Rousseau School HWDSB #reconciliation #trc

We are excited to learn more about Wampum from @TeyoDakotaBrant NCTR @hwdsb Rousseau School #Reconciliation #orangeshirtweek

The Dish with One Spoon wampum respects that resources are finite or limited. All Wampum (agreements) have three participants: humans (1st Nations, settlers), Creation (environment), people who are yet to be born @TeyoDakotaBrant NCTR @hwdsb Rousseau School #Reconciliation

It matters - even from space we can see what happens when we destruct our environment. Our Dish with One Spoon territory is one of few unique Carolinian forests @TeyoDakotaBrant NCTR HWDSB Rousseau School #Reconciliation #orangeshirtweek

Took some digging, but we got there!!! How can we reconcile w/ a friend? So proud of these deep thinkers — what does this mean if we apply the lens of Reconciliation btn First Nations & the Canadian Government/religious institutions/settlers? Rousseau School HWDSB NCTR

Inspired again by Autumn Peltier, Water Advocate 🧡 💦 Thank you for hosting NCTR for all of this week’s learning. Last year we used Autumn’s 2018 speech to United Nations as an oral comm. mentor text Rousseau School HWDSB #truth #reconciliation youtu.be/nloMR18fR-A

Facts: Autumn Peltier & the significance of boiled water advisories in 32 Indigenous communities. At age 13 (2018) Autumn politely yet firmly confronted Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau to ask what the Federal Government was going to do about it #activist #waterprotector

Today we learned more about Terry Fox, watched two short videos from 1981 w/ interviews with Terry & made connections. We were inspired to give our best effort when it was our class’ turn to run our school route today. Thanks for organizing Mrs. Stinson!! Rousseau School HWDSB
