Blog Five: Digital Story (Environment)


 

Let us first acknowledge that Mount Royal University is located in the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of the Treaty 7 region in southern Alberta, which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut'ina, and the Stoney Nakoda.
(The Institute for Community Prosperity - MRU, 2021)

We are situated on land where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. The traditional Blackfoot name of this place is "Mohkinstsis", which we now call the city of Calgary. The city of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation.
(Bow Valley College, 2021)


Welcome to my Digital Story! In this blog we'll briefly explore the history of the Tsuut'ina Nation's K-12 education. We'll also take a moment to reflect on my professional and personal understanding of how to honour cultural diversity and promote intercultural understandings based on my recent learnings. Please be aware that this journey is and will always be an ongoing process for me, and that my understandings will grow and evolve as I continue on my educational development.

    Hi Alexis,
    I love how you included the land acknowledgement. This digital story is well done and informative. I wonder how you could implement some of the things you learned about Indigenous education into your classroom.

    Hi Alexis!
    Oh my gosh - I loved this. Your writing is beautiful, and I loved your use of Canva - I loved this program! Your digital story was incredibly informative and I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to learn from and with you. I loved the Land Acknowledgment you provided - I also saw how critical it was to demonstrate our gratitude and appreciation for the land that we and all of Southern Alberta has settled on.
    Forever grateful,
    Alyna
