Welcome to our Blog!

              Welcome to the Grade 12 Global 
                 Indigenous Studies class blog!

With a lot of hard work and passion, our students researched an Indigenous nation in the world and investigated a current issue the nation is facing, while also making connections back to Indigenous topics here in Canada.  Their goals were to share their learning through social media to raise awareness and gain allies/advocates.  In the spirit of truth and reconciliation, we hope you can join us on this learning journey of different Indigenous nations around the world, and even feel inspired to share their work on your own social media or alternative ways of sharing.

Each post below links to students' work on different social media platforms so please check them out, or save the links for later viewing - you may need to click on the box labelled "Older Posts" at the bottom of the page to see more.  For this June 2023 work, there are 19 new posts to check out.  Chi miigwech for your support!
