How can this website be used?
This website can be used by educators to learn about the Nsyilxcen language and promote inclusivity and a sense of belonging for indigenous students in the classroom.
Though this content and these resources can assist in the integration of Indigenous knowledge into the classroom, it is important to seek out and build relationships with the Indigenous advocates in each school if possible, or Indigenous community members, knowledge keepers, or educators. We must remember that learning and educating on Indigenous perspectives should be done with and from local Indigenous community members.
