Pulling Together: Manitoba Foundations Guide

This guide was adapted and developed as a resource for educators and for anyone who wants an introduction to the Indigenous Peoples in our area, as well as the history and effects of colonialism and steps that we can take to decolonize. It is the result of many local Elders, Knowledge Keepers, community members, and Indigenous organizations ‘pulling together’.

Indigenous Curriculum Collection

The Indigenous Curriculum Collection is located on the main floor of the John E. Robbins Library, and contains materials intended to help teachers Indigenize their lessons and teaching.
