Big Idea:  It is our responsibility to understand and respect that reconciliation means different things to different people.  Schools need to teach Aboriginal history, even though there are sensitive topics. In learning together, we facilitate the process of truth and reconciliation. (It is the journey of the people who attended residential school and our journey to honour and respect their stories and learn)

Inquiry Question: What are authentic ways we can honour the reconciliation process in our hearts, thoughts and deeds? (Core Competency – Personal Social)
