During Indigenous History Month, the Teaching and Learning Centre will be sharing Indigenous resources, to prompt discussion and engagement, and to provide educational opportunities which go beyond surface-level awareness to foster genuine understanding of complex issues like land rights, sovereignty, and the ongoing impacts of colonization.
Week 2: Digital Archives & Virtual Exhibits
Virtual exhibits demonstrate how technology can serve Indigenous communities in reclaiming control over their cultural heritage, bringing dispersed materials back to communities digitally and correcting historical misrepresentations through Indigenous-centered narratives. By highlighting these digital resources during Indigenous History Month, we showcase innovative approaches to cultural preservation and education while supporting Indigenous organizations' efforts to share their stories on their own terms. These platforms provide rich, multimedia learning experiences that complement traditional educational materials and make Indigenous histories and cultures accessible to diverse audiences across geographical boundaries.

To celebrate National Indigenous History Month, here鈥檚 a tip for instructors on how to incorporate the concept of talking circles into their classrooms.
Talking Circles Spotlight Teaching Tip Week #1: Begin With Shared Guidelines
Spotlight:
A Talking Circle is a structured, inclusive dialogue format rooted in Indigenous traditions. Participants speak one at a time in a circle, guided by shared respect, presence, and relational accountability.
As part of this month鈥檚 focus on Talking Circles, we begin by grounding the practice in shared intention. Talking Circles depend on relational accountability鈥攚here each voice matters, and safety is co-created. Starting with a conversation about group values and expectations lays the foundation for respectful, balanced dialogue.
Why it matters:
Shared values and agreements, co-created with students, help establish safety and trust 鈥 essential conditions for open dialogue and deeper learning.
Try this:
Start your first Talking Circle with a collaborative discussion of group guidelines. Post them visibly and revisit them when needed.
Reflective question:
What might it feel like to create classroom expectations with students, not for them?
