Vowel's fourth chapter is basically a denunciation of state violence against Indigenous people in Canada, and reading the TRC's call to action gives us perspective on concrete, defined…

The purpose of these residentials schools was to remove and isolate children from their homes, families, traditions and cultures, and to assimilate them into the dominant culture. At least 150,000 First Nations, Inuit and Métis children were…

Concurs with my Teaching Philosophy The importance of understanding days that are commemorated in Australia is discussed in the Humanities and Social Sciences (History) domain of the Australian Curriculum (AC). The curriculum for Year 3 stipulates students to look at days commemorated in Australia, such as Remembrance Day, its historical origins and the importance of symbols (ACARA, 2014a, ACHHK063). As a result an integrated thematic unit on Remembrance Day has been created. Adopting this…
