One of the biggest things I hear from educators is

One of the biggest things I hear from educators is: "I want to do this well, but I'm worried about getting it wrong."

That care matters. Teaching Indigenous perspectives doesn't require knowing everything, it requires a willingness to keep learning, listen to Indigenous voices and use your role as an educator thoughtfully.

You don't have to wait until you feel like an expert to begin ☺️

Maybe "chic" is just another word for being intent

The little choices matter.

✨ Learning whose land you're on.
🌲 Teaching Indigenous content past September 30th.
✨ Supporting Indigenous creators.
🌲 Being okay with learning alongside your students.

None of it has to be perfect. It just has to be genuine.

Which slide made you smile (or made you feel a little called out 😅)?

We often hear about Truth and Reconciliation, but

We often hear about Truth and Reconciliation, but many people don't realize there's already a roadmap for what meaningful action can look like.

The 94 Calls to Action aren't just for governments. They offer opportunities for schools, educators, organizations, and individuals to reflect, learn, and make lasting changes.

This carousel shares a few things you may not know about the Calls to Action. My hope is that it encourages more conversations that go beyond a single day of recognition and toward ongoing learning throughout the year 📖♥️

Some of you are still in summer mode. Some of you

Some of you are still in summer mode. Some of you are buying resources in August. I see you, planners 😂 if you're a planner...get ready for the first week back with alphabet posters that are both beautiful and meaningful. 🤎

Featuring Indigenous inspired vocabulary, these alphabet posters help create a classroom where students see nature and Indigenous perspectives reflected from day one. Available in both a boho set and a clean white design to match your classroom decor.

Comment "ABC" and I'll send you the boho link ☀️

I spent my birthday doing one of my favourite thin

I spent my birthday doing one of my favourite things...being outside. 🌊🐋

I was lucky enough to spend the day on the water and see humpback whales, sea lions, harbour seals, and so much beautiful coastline. Moments like these are the ones that remind you how incredible the natural world really is.

Days like this remind me why I spend so much time encouraging kids to get outside. The natural world is full of wonder if we take the time to notice it. Because the more we know and love the world around us, the more we want to protect it.

Every encounter with nature is a reminder that we are connected to the places and beings around us. Caring for them starts with taking the time to learn, appreciate, and understand.

🐋 Have you ever had a wildlife encounter that you'll never forget?

Thank you to @seabreezeadventures for having me 🐋📸

The Sixties Scoop isn't just a chapter in Canada's

The Sixties Scoop isn't just a chapter in Canada's past, it has had lasting impacts on Indigenous families and communities that continue today.

This topic is personal to me. My family was affected by the Sixties Scoop, which is one of the reasons I believe it's so important that we continue learning and talking about it.

This carousel offers a simple introduction to what the Sixties Scoop was and why its impacts are still felt today. My hope is that it encourages meaningful learning and helps us better understand this part of Canada's history.
