The Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action are a significant document. They represent the beginning of the healing journey between the indigenous community and the harm the Canadian government has done. There are four calls to action that relate to education. To ensure us as teachers are doing our part it is important that we follow these calls to action. They have been woven into documents such as thee BC Curriculum and Teachers Standards, but we need to reflect on our practice that we are upholding the calls to action. While teaching about things like the residential schools will be difficult, it is not as difficult as a forgotten bloody past would be.
