I would create a safe space in my classroom by allowing students to express their knowledge with no judgement. I would let my students know that they will not be judged for what they know or don't know about Indigenous cultures (given that it is not anything negative). I would also not assume that the Indigenous students have connections with their Indigenous roots and let them know that it is okay if they do not know where they came from. They can just listen and take in the knowledge they learn from class and others around them.
