This webinar from Literacy Nova Scotia's 'Professional Development Webinar Series for Practitioners: Navigating Challenge and Change' provides a short look into what we as educators can do to create more diverse and accepting spaces for our students from multiple intersectional identities, backgrounds, and cultures. It is a Mi’kmaw view into a pan-Indigenous issue that still has resounding effects on those peoples who have endured colonization through outside forces, erasing their cultural, linguistic, spiritual and emotional identities. Tammy will discuss colonization, decolonization and anti-colonization, and what, as allies and teachers in a western institution, we can do to open the doors to learning by those who have been further marginalized through educational institutions.
