The purpose of teaching Treaty Education in the classroom is to conquer the stereotypes and attitudes towards the subjects discussed in the email. Where there are few Indigenous peoples in a classroom or community it is especially important to include Treaty education in the classroom because there is often a barrier which blocks knowledge from unfamiliar areas. If teachers do not teach all perspectives of Indigenous peoples in Canada then there is more room for students to make assumptions based in misinformation and stereotypes. It is painfully obvious that there are stereotypes which are not based in fact or in outdated ideologies and so through education teachers can hopefully stop the chain of racism and give students the power to think critically about what they are hearing around them.

It is my understanding that we must all take accountability for our actions and do our best to follow the treaties made by those who are long dead. Although they made some grave mistakes it is our responsibility as Canadians to uphold the promises made to Indigenous peoples, give back land, respect the earth and make ourselves aware of injustices that many Indigenous peoples face today.
