Storytelling and oral traditions are the essence of Indigenous knowledge and culture. Blending 21st century fluencies with these Indigenous pedagogies is the fastest way to connect to today’s youth. This session will highlight the National Film Board of Canada’s education offer, with an emphasis on building global competencies from our Indigenous Film collection. Attendees will explore how to inspire students to learn about histories and current issues through an Indigenous lens with the world’s largest Indigenous film collection. The National Film Board of Canada responded to the calls to action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission with an Indigenous Education Action Plan. This plan included the creation of The Learning Lodge, a web-based experience for all walks of life to fully immerse themselves in learning about the first peoples of this land. The Learning Lodge will be launched in the spring, and participants will receive a sneak peak of this exciting new project. Participants will also learn the value of the Indigenous Cinema Gallery as it lends itself to issues in Equity, Justice and Anti-Racism work. We know this type of work with students is heart work, and we know the power of film. Blending the two is a powerful combination for encouraging youth to take action, truly understand reconciliation, and reflect on their roles in society as a settler and ally, or as an Indigenous person finding the language of power through film. This session is specifically for intermediate and senior educators (Grades 7-12) who want to make change in their daily programming, and for principals, superintendents, administrators, directors, who want to blend anti-racist, equity and inclusion education with technology. They will explore ways to integrate Indigenous education into their own practice as educators and administrators. The question and answer period will allow participants to ask meaningful questions to improve their understanding of reconciliation, Indigenous education, and practical strategies for blending the NFB collection into the lives of their students.
