In Week 6, I deepened my understanding of Indigenous peoples in Canada, as explored in the article "Indigenous Peoples in Canada" (Parrott & Filice, 2023). This reading highlighted the diverse cultural and historical experiences of Indigenous communities, including First Nations, Métis, and Inuit. Living and studying in Canada, I have become more aware of the ongoing effects of colonialism on these communities and the vital need for indigenization in education. Last week, I had the opportunity to visit the National Museum in Québec, which further reinforced and resonated with the knowledge I have gained. I realize that integrating Indigenous perspectives into the curriculum and acknowledging the historical injustices they have endured is essential for fostering healing and promoting a more inclusive educational environment.
