The content in the New Curriculum is expected to be sharing the information that first nations of Canada and China have experienced and connected to the students as well as the world.
The importance of the integration of First Nations is simply the idea of understanding and respecting the difference in perspective and opinion regarding important national discussions and personal understandings of the way the world/society works.
This offers students an opportunity to develop empathy and sympathy not only for the first peoples of a place but for themselves-this is the epitome of social emotional learning.
