"We started this module off by watching a video on the History of Indigenous Peoples and its impact on education.
As you watch this next video, reflect on how you as an educator, a parent, a Canadian feel as you watch the video. How as an educator or member in your community can you, or could you, make a difference?

We still have a long way to go in order to ensure student success and equity for all, but there are plenty of success stories out there as well. Share a personal success story of an Indigenous person you know, or find one online.
Post your success story on the Task Board with a one-sentence explanation for your classmates to read about.
Review some of your classmates' success stories."
As per discussion,
"I wanted to post about an author that is internationally recognized. It is also appropriate that yesterday was International Women's Day, Pauline E. Johnson is a writer of indigenous descent. There are criticisms surrounding her place in social circles and her public presence, but ultimately she identifies as an indigenous person of the Six Nations reserve (now Brantford area), and is in my opinion a great Canadian Writer (regardless of being a woman or not). I very much enjoy reading her poetry of Northern Ontario and introducing her use of imagery to my students as a method of building understanding of Critical Race Theory in English Literature classes.
This author suffered a lot, did not leave kin behind, but did make her name remembered and essentially immortalized through her works which read to the beliefs and values of indigenous peoples from North America.
I have provided a user friendly website to introduce her that you may be familiar with,
