*Education Canada Magazine*
As part of my professional training, I participated with my whole
school staff in the "Blanket Exercise" (grade 7 lesson) facilitated
by the board consultant for Indigenous Studies. As we gained
knowledge of the diminishing land rights of Indigenous peoples,
teachers were visibly moved by the scope of colonization that has
taken place.
[The author's] background and teaching experience provide the
insight, knowledge and expertise to make this a valuable text for
both the novice and experienced teacher.
