Bring Indigenous Voices into Your Classroom with Confidence

What does it mean to truly listen to Indigenous voices? This new resource invites students to listen, learn, and deepen their understanding of Indigenous histories, perspectives, and experiences.

Co-developed with Indigenous educators, advisors, and youth, Indigenous Voices is an interactive Grades 7–12 resource exploring key curriculum topics through thirteen pathways that brings Indigenous perspectives into the classroom through authentic stories, documentary films, and inquiry-based learning.

Join the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) for a hands-on workshop with educators Bobbie-Jo Leclair and Joël Tétrault, two of the Indigenous educators who created Indigenous Voices. They will share insights into its development and guide participants through its pathways, films, activities, and accompanying educator and student resources.

Participants will leave with ready-to-use strategies for facilitating thoughtful conversations about land, identity, laws and policies, treaties, justice, and reconciliation. Especially relevant to educators teaching Culture and Citizenship in Québec (CCQ), English Language Arts, and Social Sciences, this workshop offers rich opportunities to explore identity, historical perspectives, and contemporary Indigenous realities through film and inquiry.
