Listen "59. 1323... and counting - The Residential "Schools" Body Count... and Reconsidering Canada Day "
Episode Synopsis
Hello Teacher BrainHeads Up: this episode may trigger (or as I like to refer to it, "activate") you. I encourage you not to shy away from your feelings. Allow them to come. Sit with them. Get curious. Don't be afraid of your emotions - whatever they may be. They are clues to what drives you (in either direction). Remember, the only dangerous emotion is a suppressed emotion.With this being National Indigenous History Month, and the recent discovery of mass unmarked graves at some of Canada's residential schools weighing heavily on my mind and heart recently. I didn't think I could do an episode on anything else this week.Below are some resources I've learned about recently - PLEASE share any that you know!!LINKS to Resources, People, Books, and Organizations I've Learned About Recently to Support Indigenous People, Groups, and Calls to Action94 Calls to Action - Truth & Reconciliation Commission of CanadaIndian Residential School Survivors Society Indigenous Peoples MovementNunatta Sunakkutaangit Museum - Voices From NunavutNative Women's Association of CanadaGood Reads List BooksBOOK TITLESThey Called Me Number One - Bev SellarsFive Little Indians - Michelle GoodThe Education of Augie Merasty - Joseph Auguste MerastyDear Canada, These Are My Words - Ruby SlipperjackBroken Circle - Theodore FontaineUp Ghost River - Edmund MetatawabinIndian Horse - Richard Wangamese (Also a movie on Netflix)Sugar Falls - David A.
