4 Seasons of Reconciliation1/13/2020 Although, I have learnt a lot about Treaty education throughout this course and other education classes while working towards my degree. There is still a couple things I am cautious about in regards to treaty education. My biggest fear that I have coming out of treaty education, is not having as much knowledge that I would have hoped to have.
I believe that teaching about treaty education and the history of white settlers negative impact on Indigenous peoples are important for students to learn about because we need to help with the reconciliation process, and to help history not repeat. Since, this is such an important topic I believe my fear stems from not getting enough education around Indigenous culture and history. As I did not start learning about Treaty education until my university school years. I also have a fear of teaching this because I am a white settler, who was born and raised her and people may believe I shouldn't be talking about Indigenous topics since that is not my background. I hope when I get my degree, I have a education and philosophies formed around Treaty education, to make an inclusive classroom for those children. Especially because the rate of Indigenous students in classroom's are increasing. There may be no set way to teach treaty education, but teaching it is important for all students that will go through the education system, starting at elementary and educating throughout the rest of their lives.
