First Nations Teaching Resources

Throughout my university studies and field experiences, I have compiled a growing collection of First Nations teaching resources that support the integration of Indigenous perspectives into the classroom in meaningful and respectful ways. These resources include lesson plans, children’s literature by Indigenous authors, culturally responsive teaching strategies, and curriculum guides aligned with Indigenous worldviews. They have been invaluable in helping me design learning experiences that honour First Nations histories, languages, and ways of knowing. I am committed to continually expanding this collection to ensure my teaching practice remains reflective, inclusive, and grounded in the principles of reconciliation.
