Recently, in our ELA lecture on diversity, it was mentioned that resources that focus on "sameness" rather than differences are essential to add to our classroom libraries. Do any of you have any great examples of Indigenous books that show how we a…

Did you know there are still more than 30 First Nations communities without clean drinking water? Don't let this fall off your radar! All Canadians should have access to clean drinking water.
