Indigenous Perspectives: K-12 Teaching Resource

Created by the University of Calgary’s Libraries and Cultural Resources department, this educational resource connects Indigenous perspectives to the current Alberta curriculum to complement kindergarten to grade twelve studies. This is an excellent tool for educators to respectfully incorporate Indigenous knowledge into classroom conversations and expand upon the topics covered in each subject to diversify and support student learning. With these materials, students will observe how Indigenous ways of knowing have been documented over time through various documents, images and archival material, primarily sourced from the Glenbow Library and Archives collection. This documentation is flawed but brings greater understanding of how our shared past has formed our current reality.

Residential School Locations - ArcGIS Web Map

This interactive map identifies all Residential School locations across Canada, according to the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation. Several locations contain links connected to relevant archival materials from the Glenbow Library and Archives digital collection at the University of Calgary. This application acts as an educational tool, intended to inform and support student learning of Residential Schools and the impacts of colonization on Indigenous cultures throughout Canadian history.
