This impactful work is based on the Life Story of Elder Mary Courchene during her time in Residential Schools that channels her story of truth, resistance, healing and the reclamation of identity, language, culture and community for herself and her family. We are incredibly proud of this work and are excited to share it with everyone.
We see this curriculum as a living document to be used throughout the school year to help students (and staff) better understand the impacts of Residential Schools. The hope is for classrooms to engage in multiple lessons over a period of time, versus the one-day event to honour Orange Shirt Day.
The curriculum is for middle and senior years level but many pieces can be used and adapted for early years. Elder Mary's story is one of resistance, healing and love. Her truth is a gift to all that will both preserve her story and honour her life's work as an educator and elder who has always so generously shared her story so that children, youth and adults can learn truth and walk the path of reconciliation. We recognize how impactful it will be for all schools across Manitoba and Canada, to have a resource such as this one, Resistance on the Giimooch (Giimooch in Anishinaabemowin means in secret).

Introducing and highlighting Role Models provides a wonderful, positive way to showcase culture and identity. It is motivating and uplifting to honour and celebrate First Nations men and women who have made and are continuing to make contributions to their communities, their Nation and, in many cases, the world. These Role Models come from different regions of the country. Their personal journeys tell of dedication, effort, leadership, excellence, wisdom, survival, commitment, discipline and a whole lot more. There are examples of lives well lived, and their stories provide lessons for all of us.

Découvrez le patrimoine et les traditions des Innus à travers leurs histoires et leur culture matérielle.
Selon la tradition orale innue, le monde est une île créée par le carcajou et le vison après un grand déluge. Les archives archéologiques montrent que les Innus et leurs ancêtres ont occupé une grande partie du Labrador et de l'est du Québec pendant deux mille ans ou plus.

Les révolutions permettent de changer les lois et les institutions dans la société. Certaines révolutions – comme la Révolution française – ont aboli la monarchie et établi la république. D’autres révolutions – comme la révolution iranienne – ont remplacé des monarchies par des théocraties. Et d’autres révolutions encore – comme la révolution russe – ont remplacé des sociétés à économie de marché par des sociétés socialistes. Et la liste pourrait continuer. Bien que chaque révolution soit unique, une chose est claire : depuis qu’il y a des gouvernements, il y a eu des révolutions. Mais qu’est-ce qu’une révolution? Que pouvons nous apprendre d’une révolution? Et une révolution est-elle la seule façon d’obtenir un changement important?

This is a self-assessment tool that is designed for administrators to use to reflect on their schools’ success in supporting smooth transitions for students. We know that schools are generally welcoming to students who arrive in September or at other expected transition times, but sometimes in the hectic world of schools the important work to welcome, orient and support new students is overlooked. Many students who transfer at unexpected times are in challenging circumstances and need transition support. I encourage you to support your school administrators in establishing strong communication and relationship protocols that support smooth student transitions. See the preamble and the rubric itself for further details.
