If you are looking for ideas to get your class involved in some hands-on learning about colonialism and racism, check out the Moccasin Project which is raising awareness about the high apprehension rates of Indigenous children in Canada (with a particular focus on Manitoba).
To read about the work they have done in classrooms in Ontario click here or learn about how you can get your classroom involved!
- Moccasins made through the project are seen in this video from APTN about Indigenous child welfare reform in Manitoba.
- The folks at the project have even done some of our homework for us, finding links to the grades 1 through 10 curriculum to the work of the project.
