# [Cultural Genocide in Canada: Challenging institutionalized racism and moving towards Reconciliation](https://facingcanada.facinghistory.org/cultural-genocide-in-canada-challenging-institutionalized-racism-and-moving-towards-reconciliation)

One of the reasons why I love teaching is that I can open students’ eyes to injustices that exist today - injustices like the missing and murdered Indigenous women - and the ways in which they can promote change. The grade 12 Challenge and Change course provides the ideal opportunity to raise these issues, and Facing History’s approach, strategies, and readings give me the tools to authentically engage students.

*Stolen Lives: The Indigenous Peoples of Canada and the Indian Residential Schools* is Facing History Canada’s latest resource. During August 2016, a number of teachers from across Ontario participated in a three-day summer institute in Ottawa to learn how to improve and enhance current teaching practices in relation to studies of the Indigenous Peoples in Canada and using Stolen Lives in their classrooms.

**Introduction:** My Residential School unit was largely based on the *[*Residential School Lessons*](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lrnOc-6OxR8WMxHZme2PwrDj00vXI6oupmLmUHfHRi0/edit?usp=sharing)for the Genocide Elective* set out by Cheryl Payne. I simply tweaked them a little bit to suit my classes. I taught this unit last year in April. The main areas of change were primarily how I prepared and debriefed the students to see the NFB movie [**We Were Children**](https://www.nfb.ca/film/we_were_children/). The other change was including a summative assignment based on the questions found in Facing History and Ourselves’ book *[*Stolen Lives*](https://www.facinghistory.org/stolen-lives).* Creating this summative assignment was a great experience in professional collaboration as  all of the history teachers at my school collectively designed it*.   *

This summer I went to Europe with my nieces. We visited Zurich, Krakow, Prague and Berlin. My suitcase unfortunately did not make the journey with me. At each stop, I updated Swiss Air about my location. It took 8.5 days (of the 10 we were there) for my suitcase to meet up with me. I was annoyed, and eventually had to purchase clothing in each town, and do some hand-washing to have clean clothing!

As part of Facing History and Ourselves three day summer seminar "CHC2 Canadian History through a Facing History Lens",  Nathan Tidridge came to speak about "Creating a Culture of Caring Through Reconciliation as  Non-Indigenous Teacher."

 Nathan Tidridge teaches at Waterdown District High School and was awarded the Premier’s Award for Teaching Excellence (Teacher of the Year) and the Charles Baillie Award for Excellence in Secondary School Teaching by Queen's University. The author of four books exploring the Crown in Canada, Tidridge's latest work (The Queen at the Council Fire: The Treaty of Niagara, Reconciliation and the Dignified Crown in Canada) was launched by the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. Over the years Tidridge has spoken to numerous groups across the country, including recently the Manitoba Council of Elders,  and The Crown in the 21st Century conference held in Victoria. In 2015 he was proud to be appointed to both the Ontario Heritage Trust Board of Directors and the National Advisory Council of the Prince's Charities Canada. 

  

Learn more about Nathan Tidridge's work at [www.canadiancrown.com](http://www.canadiancrown.com), or on his teacher website [www.tidridge.com](http://www.tidridge.com). 

  

If you were unable to attend and would like to see the talk it was streamed and can be accessed on [Periscope](https://www.periscope.tv/w/ap2cCTFXZ0VnSmVXa2dqdlB8MUx5eEJEcFhPcW5HTu1A8btxEMGOgPr-WK9fG50t4-jrbcFX7ddAHLLnNwEz).

Following the event I had a chance to catch up with Nathan and talk to him a little bit about his experiences teaching difficult content in the highschool classroom. Whether or not you were able to attend this great talk, take a look at the following interview and consider the following:

1. How could you use the information in this interview to better your own teaching practice?

2. How might this interview help you contextualize the importance of addressing the TRC calls to action for your department and school?

3. How could the interview be used to help inspire and build confidence in educators to incorporate Indigenous Studies into their classrooms?

# [Indigenous Cultures, Language, and the TRC through an Anthropological Lens (Part 2)](https://facingcanada.facinghistory.org/indigenous-cultures-language-and-the-trc-through-an-anthropological-lens-part-2)

Throughout the unit we had students critically reflect at the end of each lesson on what was covered and fill out a Connect- Extend- Challenge worksheet. This activity extends beyond the traditional K-W-L chart as students reflect upon previous learning, using it to foster further discussion and guide inquiry.

# [Indigenous Cultures, Language, and the TRC through an Anthropological Lens (Part 1)](https://facingcanada.facinghistory.org/indigenous-cultures-language-and-the-trc-through-an-anthropological-lens-part-1)

 Posted by [Kristen Drury](https://facingcanada.facinghistory.org/author/kristen-drury) on July 4, 2016

Indigenous Canadians and their cultures should not remain solely in Canadian history courses. They are not extinct, they are not remnants of our past; they are living, breathing, human beings that should have the ability to contribute to our contemporary discourse. Their voices are vital to understanding the Canada that we live in today, and the Canada that we want to live in the future. We feel that students should be exposed to their narrative through a variety of social science and historic lenses in order for us as Canadians to move towards reconciliation. Furthermore, Indigenous studies should not be a “token” topic on a worksheet or organizer. It should be give the same time and examined in as much depth as any other major topic in the curriculum. With this in mind, our goal for our grade 11 social science course “Introduction to Anthropology, Sociology and Psychology” was to find a way to include Indigenous voices, allowing students opportunities to grapple with historic and contemporary issues. Through private reflection, students were very open about their unintentional ignorance and embraced the challenge and opportunity to explore the First Nations, Metis and Inuit Peoples in Canada. It is with this in mind, that we incorporated the resource [*Stolen Lives*](https://www.facinghistory.org/books-borrowing/stolen-lives-indigenous-peoples-canada-and-indian-residential-schools) as a focal point for our cultural anthropology sub- unit.
