Indigenous Perspectives – Educational Resources for French Teachers

In June 2020, I put together a blog post filled with a variety of French-language resources for Black Lives Matter. This blog post contains educational resources for French teachers with Indigenous perspectives, lived experiences and stories.

Additionally, I created this list of resources not to speak over or on behalf of Indigenous voices. On the contrary, my goal is to create a list of resources with Indigenous perspectives and voices.

Furthermore, please do your due diligence by thoroughly watching and reading the resources before showing them to your own students. 

This is not a complete and final list of resources. As I stumble upon and/or am made aware of other documents, I will be adding them to this blog post. If you know of resources, please share them with me in the comments!
