Episode 1: Representation, Connection and Identity

What is Indigenous identity? How is it represented in today's society? Many First Nation, Métis and Inuit have either struggled with their own identity or how other people define them. In this episode the PDSB Indigenous Education Team, Allison Cunningham and Kayla discuss First Nation, Métis and Inuit identity and representation through sharing their own lived experiences growing up and working in an education system. They challenge educators to be aware of the assumptions they bring into the classroom and to create safe spaces where students feel empowered, safe and respected.
