Healing Historical Trauma 2
Many First Nations, Métis and Inuit students and communities are still adversely affected by intergenerational trauma resulting from residential schools. The last of many residential schools in Alberta closed in 1975, and so many First Nation, Métis and Inuit students are being raised by former residential school students. The more we educate ourselves about the traumas experienced at these residential schools, the better we will be able to understand and ensure the educational success of our First Nation, Métis and Inuit students. The digital resource Walking Together: First Nations, Métis and Inuit Perspectives in Curriculum from Alberta Education presents a variety of first-hand accounts of residential school experiences. For a sample from this resource, hear Nakoda Elder Sykes Powderface speak about residential schools in a video located in the Respecting Wisdom section of the Healing Historical Trauma topic area.
