Indigenous Day of Learning

I found the keynote speaker at our indigenous day of learning enlightening. Dr. Dustin Louie showed his passion about reconciliation, de-colonialization and indigenization. He gave the audience a very structured approach to what teacher can do to apply this to their classroom. Dr. Louie explained that we need to start with de-colonializing, which involve 3 main ways we need to reshape our mindset and our educational system.

First of, we must let the indigenous people shape their own identity and share it with the world. Currently, the picture of “what it means to be indigenous” has been shaped by colonials, and that affects the ways that indigenous people see themselves. So, to decolonialize we need to allow Indigenous people to rediscover and define their authentic identity. Secondly, we need to break down the white supremacy built into our society. This idea he explained is that every system, including the education system has been built to benefit white people. So, to try and produce equality in an unequal system is not going to work. Therefore, we need to start breaking down these supremist structure and bring in other perspectives to make it an equal playing field. Lastly, he explained, to do these two things we need to first get rid of the idea of western neutrality. Western neutrality is a concept of western methods are the best way of doing and that it benefits everyone. For example, if we are using Western neutrality, and someone presents a new perspective, it won’t be heard since anything different is viewed as wrong, too much work, or just not how thins are done. So, we need to do a lot of cognitive work to interrupt biases and truly listen and see the value in other viewpoints.

I found these three ways to approach de-colonializing important to understand going forward in the teaching program, because we have to understand that these three embarrassing cognitive processes have been built into us (being part of the people raised with western/colonial views), and actively work against it. The hardest part is going to be recognizing the unconscious biases that we will find yourself sinking into because it is “easier”. So, what we must do is introspection and really question the purpose of our education system, lessons, assignments, and think if there is another way of doing this. I think at this point is when we can do something meaningful and start working towards de-colonizing.

One idea that Dr. Louie mentioned that I hope to apply to my teaching practicums is that non-aboriginal teachers and teacher candidates don’t have to be scared to teach indigenous knowledge for fear of doing something wrong. He recommended building relationships and approaching it with humility. And if you make a mistake, then apologize and make a mend. We are all human and all make mistakes. But being too scared to teach the content isn’t going to get us anywhere.

    Наиболее частыми причинами обращения становятся запой, выраженная слабость, тремор, нарушение сна, тревога, учащенный пульс, нестабильное давление, тошнота и ощущение физического истощения. Эти проявления могут сочетаться между собой и усиливаться после прекращения употребления алкоголя, особенно если эпизод длился несколько дней.

  17. Jamesbog

    While browsing through ecommerce pages I found a platform that feels modern and well arranged with a structured interface that enhances browsing and product discovery harbor collective catalog designed for simplicity – The layout is visually clean and easy to explore

  18. MichaelAbere

    During review of forex education resources and trading guides I noticed in the middle of my browsing list Balanced Market Learning Guide which offered well structured explanations – The material felt detailed yet not overwhelming making it suitable for gradual learning and understanding

  19. Antoniotwevy

    The internet contains countless shopping websites, though trusted value portal seems to focus more on readability and comfortable navigation, allowing visitors to explore categories with less distraction while still receiving enough information to understand products and site content in a natural and practical way overall.

  20. GeorgeElate

    While browsing online lifestyle collections, I came across Living Style Gallery Hub which provides a soft and organized visual layout that feels pleasant – the site atmosphere is calming and browsing feels visually comfortable, smooth, and easy on the eyes overall

  21. Registrera dig

    I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article.

  22. JettState

    Felt the writer did the homework before publishing, the references hold up, and a look at createbettertomorrow continued that documented care, content with traceable claims rather than vague assertions is the kind I trust and the lack of bald assertion in this post is one of its quietly impressive qualities for me.

  23. HarlanTuh

    Felt like the writer was speaking directly to someone with my level of curiosity, neither talking down nor showing off, and a stop at seoglide kept that comfortable matching going, finding writing that meets you where you are rather than asking you to climb up or stoop down feels great every time it happens.

  24. Inscription Binance

    Can you be more specific about the content of your article? After reading it, I still have some doubts. Hope you can help me.

  25. smartchoicebazaar

    Most posts I read end up forgotten within a day but this one is sticking, and a look at smartchoicebazaar extended that lingering effect, content that survives the immediate moment of reading rather than evaporating is content with genuine retention quality and this site has been producing memorable pieces at a rate notable across my reading.

  26. bestdailyhub

    Will be back, that is the simplest way to say it, and a quick visit to bestdailyhub reinforced the decision, this site has earned a spot in my regular rotation alongside a few other reliable places I check when I want something genuinely informative without all the usual modern web noise getting in the way.

  27. 打开Binance账户

    Thank you for your sharing. I am worried that I lack creative ideas. It is your article that makes me full of hope. Thank you. But, I have a question, can you help me?

  28. stonebridgeoutlet

    Now adding the homepage to my regular check rotation rather than waiting for individual links to find me, and a stop at stonebridgeoutlet confirmed the rotation upgrade, the move from passive discovery to active checking is a vote of confidence in a sites ongoing quality and this site has earned that active engagement clearly.

  29. 注册Binance

  30. shopandsmilemore

    Picked this site to mention to a colleague who would benefit, and a look at shopandsmilemore added more material I will pass along, recommending sites to colleagues is a higher bar than recommending to friends because the professional context demands more careful curation and this site cleared the professional bar without me having to think.

  31. rareseasonshoppe

    A well calibrated piece that knew its scope and stayed inside it, and a look at rareseasonshoppe maintained the same scope discipline, scope creep is one of the failure modes of long blog posts and this site has clearly invested in the editorial discipline to prevent it which shows up in tightly contained pieces.

  32. findpeaceandpurpose

    Well structured and easy to read, that combination is rarer than people think, and a stop at findpeaceandpurpose confirmed the same standard runs across the rest of the site, definitely the kind of place I will be coming back to when this topic comes up in conversation later again over the weeks ahead.

  33. fashiontrendstore

    Now noticing how rare it is to find a site that does not feel rushed, and a look at fashiontrendstore extended that calm pace, content produced without time pressure has a different quality than content shipped to meet a deadline and this site reads as written without urgency which produces a different and better experience for readers.

  34. findbetterdeals

    Recommend this to anyone who values clear thinking over flashy presentation, and a stop at findbetterdeals continued in the same understated way, this site has its priorities in the right place which makes it worth supporting through repeat visits and recommendations rather than just one passing read today before moving on quickly elsewhere.

  35. NelsonHivix

    If I had to defend the time I spend reading independent blogs this site would feature in the defence, and a look at creativefindsmarket reinforced that defensive utility, the ongoing case for non algorithmic reading is one I make to myself periodically and sites like this one provide the actual evidence that supports the case clearly.

  36. JabariFam

    Definitely returning here, that is decided, and a look at futurewoodtrends only made the case stronger, this is one of those rare websites that rewards regular visits rather than feeling stale after the first read which is something I cannot say about most of the places I bookmark today across all my topics.

  37. PeterWreda

    Just want to record that this site is entering my regular reading list, and a look at sunrisetrailmarket confirmed it deserves the spot, my regular reading list is short and well curated and adding to it requires meeting a fairly high quality bar that this site has clearly cleared without much effort apparently.

  38. Nicholasdoumb

    Probably going to mention this site in a write up I am working on later this month, and a stop at fashionforfamilies provided more material for that potential mention, content worth referencing in my own published work rather than just personal reading is content with the highest endorsement level and this site has earned that endorsement.

  39. Barrybeiny

    Now adding this to a list of sites I want to see flourish, and a stop at fashiondailychoice reinforced that wish, the few sites I actively root for are sites that produce the kind of work I want more of in the world and this one has joined that small list based on what I have read so far.

  40. Heathduh

    Reading this prompted a small note in my reference file, and a stop at intentionalhomeandstyle prompted another, the rare site that contributes useful nuggets to my own working knowledge rather than just consuming my attention is worth the time investment many times over compared to the usual pile of forgettable scroll content.

  41. DavonNem

    In the middle of an otherwise scattered day this post landed as a moment of focus, and a stop at astrecanal extended that focused feeling across more pages, content that anchors a fragmented day rather than contributing to the fragmentation is content with real centring effect and this site is providing that anchoring function for me.

  42. Jeffkig

    Closed several other tabs to focus on this one as I read, and a stop at boomclove held my undivided attention the same way, content that earns full focus in an attention environment full of competing pulls is content doing something genuinely well and the team behind it deserves recognition for that achievement consistently.

  43. JaydenTed

    However selective I am about new bookmarks this one made it past my filter, and a look at astrobush confirmed the bookmark was worth the slot, the precious slots in my permanent bookmark folder are difficult to earn and this site earned one without making me think twice about whether the slot was justified by the quality.

  44. Brysonchads

    Bookmarking this for later, the kind of resource I want to keep nearby, and a quick look at xenialcart confirmed the rest of the site is worth the same treatment, definitely going into my reference folder for the next time the topic comes up at work or in conversation with someone who asks.

  45. NolanFah

    Decided this was the best thing I had read all morning, and a stop at nookharbor kept that ranking intact, ranking my reading is something I do mentally throughout the day and the top rank is competitive and not easily won but this site won it without needing to overstate its claims for that.

  46. HeathLit

    Felt the writer did the homework before publishing, the references hold up, and a look at brinkbeige continued that documented care, content with traceable claims rather than vague assertions is the kind I trust and the lack of bald assertion in this post is one of its quietly impressive qualities for me.

  47. ErvinMek

    Closed the laptop and walked away thinking about the post for a good twenty minutes, and a stop at thoughtfulcommerceplatform produced similar lingering thoughts, content that survives the closing of the browser tab is content that has actually entered the mind rather than just decorating the screen for the duration of the reading.

  48. Bonus de parrainage Binance

    Can you be more specific about the content of your article? After reading it, I still have some doubts. Hope you can help me. https://www.binance.com/register?ref=QCGZMHR6

  49. PatrickSoups

    I really like the calm tone here, it does not push anything on the reader, and after I went through minimmoss I felt the same way, just steady useful content laid out without drama, which is exactly what someone trying to learn something quickly needs to find rather than aggressive marketing.

  50. PrestonClaps

    Refreshing tone compared to the dry corporate posts on similar topics, and a stop at designledmarketplace carried that personality through nicely, you can tell when a real person is behind the writing versus a content team chasing metrics and this site definitely falls into the former category clearly across what I have seen.

  51. DreNut

    Worth your time, that is the simplest endorsement I can give, and a stop at knackpacts extends that endorsement across the rest of the site, this is one of those increasingly rare places that delivers on what it promises rather than over selling the content and under delivering on substance every time which I find frustrating elsewhere.

  52. binance skapa konto

    Your article helped me a lot, is there any more related content? Thanks!

  53. AnthonyBex

    Probably the best thing I have read on this topic in the past month, and a stop at elitedawns extended that ranking, the casual ranking of recent reading is informal but real and this site has been winning those rankings for me on this topic specifically over the last several weeks of regular reading sessions.

  54. Devanteesoff

    Now feeling confident that this site will continue producing work I will want to read, and a look at biabrook extended that confidence into the future, projecting forward from current quality to expected future quality is something I do for sites I genuinely follow and this one has earned that forward looking trust clearly today.

  55. Binance注册奖金

    Thank you for your sharing. I am worried that I lack creative ideas. It is your article that makes me full of hope. Thank you. But, I have a question, can you help me?

  56. Clintonpef

    Reading this gave me something to think about for the rest of the afternoon, and after learnandprogressconsistently I had even more to mull over, the kind of post that lingers in the background of your day rather than evaporating immediately is genuinely valuable in an attention economy that punishes depth rather than rewarding it.
