Alberta Government: Walking together
First Nations, Métis and Inuit Perspectives in Curriculum

The digital resource Walking Together: First Nations, Métis and Inuit Perspectives in Curriculum was designed to help teachers understand the holistic nature of First Nations, Métis and Inuit ways of knowing; to provide opportunity for Inuit, First Nations and Métis peoples to share their perspectives on topics important to them; and to demonstrate First Nations, Métis and Inuit perspectives in teaching and learning experiences.
The resource contains issues that may be controversial or sensitive for some viewers. These issues are important to understanding the complex and diverse perspectives of the Indigenous peoples in Alberta. The views presented by individual speakers are personal perspectives and points of view and do not necessarily represent views of Alberta Education.
