"The Lens" highlights Indigenous perspectives meant to enhance relationships, learning, and values to lift everyone up. It is a useful and practical tool that can guide a deeper and more meaningful experience during Pro-D. Beyond the day, it offers an important step towards bringing an Indigenous perspective to the work we all do.The Aboriginal Lens is a guide for those who work in education and are committed to taking up the “Calls to Action on Education” as stipulated by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. This framework is designed to help educators challenge the current, established systems of belief that support Eurocentric practices that have silenced other ways of knowing and being. The lens focuses our efforts and can be used to examine and assess policies and practices. The framework also works to address the needs of the collective and the community, as well as providing common reference for teachers.SEVENGENERATIONSReciprocityRelevanceResponsibilityReconciliationRespectRelationships ResilienceHISTORYIDENTITYSENSEOFBELONGINGCULTURELANGUAGEELDERSCOMMUNITYLANDRpe er:• Listening to and learning from the voices that have been silenced.• Learning from the stories and experiences of Aboriginal knowledge-keepers.• Creating a safe space where everyone belongs in the circle.• Valuing multiple knowledge systems, diverse cultures and perspectives. Rli-lng er:• Understanding protocols for acknowledgment of traditional territories.• Supporting Aboriginal students so that they can be successful.• Understanding privilege to create equity.• Bringing together Aboriginal students, Elders and community members.• Creating space where Aboriginal students, Elders and community members can come together in school.* Adapted from the Aboriginal Lens: Education for Reconciliation.
