The following video was recorded as part of the Doorways to Dialogue Project, which purpose is to provide an opportunity for all children to learn Indigenous language (s), culture, and traditions, including local knowledge of Lekwungen Territory, in an interactive and entertaining format.
Sharing this video and talking about it with your students will support your commitment to Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action (#63), to help build student capacity for intercultural understanding, empathy, and mutual respect.
