One of the ways we can do this is to invite Indigenous authors and leaders into our classrooms to provide that context of the narratives we read. This can pose a few potential challenges. One, is that it’s not always easy for a teacher to step aside and allow another voice to facilitate discussion, especially on a core text. I don’t envision this being an issue in my department, though. The other challenge is simply finding the right individual to come in and speak to your class. Unless you’re able to bring in a Tanya Talaga or Joseph Boyden into your classroom, you’ll need to ensure the individual you do bring in can speak to both the text and the “the richness of Indigenous histories prior to, and post, European contact with First Peoples in this land”.
