Reflecting on online seminar and class discussion, some take away I had are:
1. For non-indigenous teachers, we could become co-learners with our students. There are so many books, songs, videos and movies about indigenous culture, we could learn it together. We need to open ourselves to learn more, and to protect our indigenous knowledge.
2. Teachers could teach students some Canadian history of colonialism and the residential school system , so students could recognize the root of problems from historical perspective. It can help students to identify the implicit bias and other issues that may be happening today.
3. Responsibility and knowledge should not be separated. Teachers, as the role model, need to show your students not just tell them the way approaching the world.
