HONOURING TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION

Indigenous Pedagogy and Wellness with Kevin Lamoureux [On-Demand Learning Feature]
Join Kevin for this final in his four part series on Indigenous Pedagogy and Wellness. Prior to contact, there were education systems in place that allowed Indigenous people to grow into and thrive as healthy adults living in balance with the land. This session will explore teachings and insights from that pedagogical practice.
