Culturally Responsive Practices

Taking Action

First, explore the provided resources, and consider how you might share these with groups of Educators in your setting: 

1. Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action

2. Indigenous Early Learning and Childcare Framework

After reviewing the TRC Calls to Action and the Indigenous Early Learning and Childcare Framework, watch the CBC video "I am Indigenous" (2017):

After watching the video and visiting the resources, consider how you might respond to call to action twelve (#12) through your programming or advocacy. 

 “We call upon the federal, provincial, territorial, and Aboriginal governments to develop culturally appropriate early childhood education programs for Aboriginal families.”  

(Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, 2015).
