Telling your students the Truth as you attempt to implement the recommendations of TRC is a very difficult assignment.
If ONE person, a parent, a trustee, an administator or...any ONE person has an issue with your efforts, it could be disastrous. It could mean your job/your livelhood.
Yet, you want to do your share. What can you do?Educate them - your students (and your community) about the values and beliefs of those to whom we know we are owing. One way to do this is for you to use my books that focus on the Sacred Teachings. These Teachings are consistent among many First Nations. To access those of the Haudenosaunee, use my book The Great Law.
For middle school - high school, the Seven Sacred Teachings is a beautifully illustrated look at the Grandfather Teachings/Teachings or the White Buffalo Calf Woman. To support the book, allo me to read it to them

For every right there is a wrong. For each of the Sared Teachings there is a Deceiver. Again, the book and/or the video clip:
