This class helps me develop knowledge about the history, educational experiences and knowledge system of the aboriginal peoples. This will help me benefit as a teacher as I gain more knowledge about the aboriginal peoples. I believe this class is going to advantage me as a future teacher because when I learn and gain knowledge about the history
