Co-teaching Indigenous 101 & 102 Exploring Indigenous Identities

Duncan, British Columbia, Canada

My teaching philosophy stems from the understanding that teaching and learning are directly connected to lived experiences. Indigenous knowledge systems are a huge factor in how my philosophy is shaped to incorporate the idea of walking in two worlds. I teach because I love my community. My knowledge is my wealth, and I strive to give back to the community the wealth I have to share. When we create the next generation of learners, we create the opportunity for generational wealth. When young Indigenous youth see me in the classroom, I want them to see themselves as belonging. Lifelong learning has traditionally been an Indigenous way of doing and being. However, classrooms are only sometimes set up in a way that honors Indigenous ways. I want learners to take my teachings to heart and integrate that knowledge into their expertise. The word for teacher ḥuḥtikšiiḥsaps = I am a teacher. In my language but ḥaaḥuupa means teaching it, and huuḥtikšiḥ means learning. These words mean more than just teaching and learning. Through teaching and learning, we have understood that everyone is equal and should be treated as such. As an instructor and leader in my community, I am responsible for sharing my knowledge and experiences to help guide learners on their journey. Learning occurs when students feel safe to share their opinions and are treated as human beings. Since Indigenous studies address many complex topics, including colonial violence, it is important that students feel safe to ask questions. Creating safe spaces allows them to share who they are, whether from a place of tradition, relationship, action, or innovation. This includes my pedagogy, which recognizes that not all students learn at the same pace. I have adapted a decolonized way of marking where students who have scored under 80% on their assignments are allowed additional submissions to improve their skills.

At the 2017 FPSE AGM, members approved the creation of “an Indigenous Standing Committee with the resources of all other standing committees and with the collective support and effort of our Federation.”At the June 14-16, 2017 FPSE Presidents’ Council retreat, PC directed the Ad Hoc Committee on Decolonization and Reconciliation to develop terms of reference for this new FPSE standing committee. The consensus among Presidents was that such terms of reference would be very generic following the template of the other standing committees, and that, once the committee was established, committee members would develop comprehensive terms of reference and a committee mandate in line with existing FPSE policy. Presidents also felt that the committee members would decide on the most appropriate name for the committee.The Decolonization, Reconciliation & Indigenization Standing Committee will be guided by existing FPSE policies. Underlying these policies is the resolution passed at the 2017 AGM:FPSE supports the inherent and collective rights of Indigenous Peoples to rights of sovereignty and self-determination, and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action, especially through supporting the development and implementation of education on Indigenous themes for students at their members’ post-secondary educational institutions.
