My understanding of citizenship is where you belong, as well as how you treat your community. If you live somewhere, you are a citizen, but that does not mean you are a good citizen. You have to treat your community well and put in an effort to society in order to be a good citizen. However, I had never thought about how many layers to citizenship there are.

As educators, it is our role to  teach more about treaty education. Right now, there is not a whole lot that is being taught on the subject and we need to do better. By teaching more on this subject, we will be able to allow the new generations to understand the significance indigenous languages and practices. Being indigenous is an important part of who people are, and even if you are not indigenous you should learn to respect that. In order to be able to properly respect that, we need to teach the students more about it and the impotence of it. This will make our students better citizens because they will respect the cultures that exist around them.
