Indigenous Education

Evergreen Catholic School Division respectfully acknowledges the vibrant history and culture of Indigenous nations in Canada. We continually seek to learn the traditions and contributions of Indigenous nations of Alberta while committing to moving forward in friendship and collaboration. We also recognize the land, upon which Evergreen Catholic Schools resides, is home for our closest neighbours, the Cree and the Nakoda. This territory, known as Treaty 6, is also home to the Métis Nation and many other Indigenous groups. We honor and acknowledge the unique story of this land and continue to work towards strengthening relations with Indigenous communities.

Evergreen Catholic School Division supports teachers, administrators, and division office staff in their commitment to the Truth and Reconciliation's Calls to Action (2015) through the development of staff by:

Obtaining practical strategies and materials for the full integration of Indigenous perspectives into each classroom
Offering approaches for teaching Indigenous learners and working with Indigenous families
Making connections to Elders, cultural instructors, and other resource people for authentic learning experiences
Promoting further understanding of treaties and agreements negotiated with First Nations and the Métis in Canada
Providing opportunities to learn about residential schools and their legacy
Building on existing awareness of historical, social, economic, and political realities of Indigenous individuals/nations
Participating in whole schools events that foster understanding and respect for Indigenous cultures, languages and histories.
Supporting staff in the attainment of school resources
Broadening current practice to include pedagogy that is consistent with Indigenous ways of learning and knowing.

Indigenous education lead teachers from each school meet throughout the school year to further their learning and build confidence in a variety of foundational knowledge areas.

Through capacity building within school communities and enabling all school staff to embark on this journey, the positive effects will be felt in our hearts, minds, spirits’ and happily in our classrooms. Through this commitment, the students of Evergreen Catholic School Division will become the new co-creators of a promising future for all.
