Thread by @MissMarcakis

For #bced #sd36learn looking for resources, a thread:

The discovery of the mass grave of 215 children at Kamloops Residential School has been really triggering in my home-my fiancé is an intergenerational survivor, his late grandmother attended Blue Quills Residential School.

Please use the following resources with care, and be cognizant that many can be triggering for Indigenous students and colleagues. There is a 24-hour Residential School Crisis Line at 1-866-925-4419 for anyone who needs emotional support.

I have gathered some literature and teaching resources below to help you commemorate Orange Shirt Day (September 30) and/or teach your students about residential schools and their lasting impact. I will add to the list as others comment. #sd36AbEd #orangeshirtday #sd36learn #bced
