How to Enhance the Lack of Native Language and Culture Education

Step 4: Check Student Voice

After implementing programs, poll student voice to see what could be added to school culture and what FMNI students feel represents them well

Step 3: Include Native Culture in School Culture

Ensure the Land Acknowledgement is read on the announcements every day

Recognize Native Holidays and Events in the school calendar

Try to connect with Native community leaders to bring programming into the school

Step 2: Run Native Language courses for students as an Alternative to French

If the school cannot find a teacher to run the course, allow students to take it online

Allow Students the opportunity to take this language course as an Alternative to French

Step 1: Connect with the Board of Ed to better understand the variety of Native Language and Culture Courses the Board offers

Connect with Admin about possibility to running courses
