Some of the images are uncomfortable to look at but have been included to assist in having truthful discussions and will hopefully spark interest in your students (especially the Medicine Woman costume on p.26 around Halloween). It is time for teachers to implement The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s calls to action. We have a duty to educate all students about the histories and contemporary realities of Indigenous peoples in Canada.
