by Brad CunninghamThis playlist is meant to help highlight the journey I am taking as a non-indigenous person incorporating indigenous principles of learning and ways of knowing and being into my high school English and Humanities classroom. I hope that this playlist can help other educators feel comfortable joining me on this journey to honour how all humans learn.
