About time!

"Much of the curriculum materials currently available to teachers are lacking in 'real life' information in the area of Aboriginal culture and traditions. This new resource, which addresses that gap, will be particularly useful in local elementary classrooms."By presenting the history of local First Nations Clans, this new resource can help non-Native students understand and appreciate the history, culture and traditions of their aboriginal classmates while instilling a sense of pride in Aboriginal students."

I would like to say, about time, but it is a little too late as far as I am concerned....students here in Dillon do not appreciate their culture, because they have been told since t hey were in Kindergarten that their language is not the language that teaches you about the outside world, that their traditional practises are only for the older generation, that their way of thinking is wrong and that they have to think this way now.......no wonder we are experiencing so many suicides on these small isolated communites that are rich in culture and people......Who will fix it now? Newer curriculum like the one that is proposed by the Six Nations First Nations people???
