Description
For educators seeking to build anti-racism learning into Canadian history classes, this 3-book set of classroom materials is an invaluable resource. The three books in this set address some of the most tragic incidents of racism towards Canada's Indigenous peoples: the Residential School system, the forced relocation of Canada's Inuit peoples, and the Sixties Scoop—a child welfare policy in Canada that saw the removal of Indigenous children from their families, often by force.
Included with this set is a free teachers guide to help better integrate these books into your class curriculum.
Together this set adds a vital dimension which has often been missing from the history students learn. These books enable students to see that racism and discrimination have been embedded in Canadian life for generations.
Each book features:
• Highly visual treatment, using photos, art, and illustrations
• Short, readable texts
• First-person accounts
• Full texts of government apologies
• Links to relevant video resources
Titles included:
- Righting Canada's Wrongs: Residential Schools
- Righting Canada's Wrongs: Inuit Relocations
- Righting Canada's Wrongs: The Sixties Scoop
- Righting Canada's Wrongs: Indigenous Studies Resource Guide
