How to Enhance the Lack of Native Language and Culture Education
Step 1: Connect with the Board of Ed to better understand the variety of Native Language and Culture Courses the Board offers
See if your school has any qualified teachers
Connect with Admin about possibility to running courses
Step 2: Run Native Language courses for students as an Alternative to French
Allow Students the opportunity to take this language course as an Alternative to French
If the school cannot find a teacher to run the course, allow students to take it online
Step 3: Include Native Culture in School Culture
Try to connect with Native community leaders to bring programming into the school
Recognize Native Holidays and Events in the school calendar
Ensure the Land Acknowledgement is read on the announcements every day
Step 4: Check Student Voice
After implementing programs, poll student voice to see what could be added to school culture and what FMNI students feel represents them well
