Stop indigenous erasure in Canadian curriculum- Teach the children the truth


Stop indigenous erasure in Canadian curriculum- Teach the children the truth
The Issue
Specifically in the Alberta social studies 8 curriculum (both EPSB and ECSD) recognition of my entire cultural identity has been erased. According to the textbook we were all killed off (Maya, Inca, Aztec) stated in chapter 5. This is extremely invalidating to us, the LEAST government authorizes can provide is truth and closure to my people. You’ve failed to wipe us out. The traditional language Nawat is on the brink of extinction only a hand full of the elders are fluent. Help me with the cultural preservation of the Nahua De Cuscatlan
