As the West Coast Indigenous Teacher, my mission is to help teachers confidently bring Indigenous knowledge and perspectives into their classrooms.

As a First Nations person, I bring a unique viewpoint to the resources I create, ensuring they are culturally appropriate. I create engaging resources that make it easy to foster understanding and respect for Indigenous cultures.

By supporting educators, I aim to inspire the next generation to appreciate and honour the richness of Indigenous voices and histories. Together, we can build a stronger connection to the land, community, and culture!

ABOUT ME

Éy swayel (hello)! I’m a Zoë, a Nuučaan̓ułʔatḥ educator, author, and the creator of West Coast Indigenous Teacher.

I’m passionate about helping educators bring Indigenous learning into their classroom with more confidence and care. When I’m not creating resources, I’m usually exploring the outdoors with my little ones, which continues to inspire my love of outdoor and land based learning.

ABOUT ME

Éy swayel (hello)! I’m a First Nations educator from Nuučaan̓ułʔatḥ territory, pronounced “nuu-chah-nulth”, which means “all along the mountains and sea”.

I’m passionate about sharing my Indigenous culture and knowledge in the classroom. As a parent, I find joy in exploring the outdoors with my little ones, which fuels my commitment to outdoor education and Indigenous culture.
