Indigenous Awareness

ASCA Board Vision Path 2023-2026

Destination 4:

  • Destination: In consultation with Indigenous advisors, elders and/or knowledge keepers, Alberta School Councils’ Association will advance reconciliation by promoting and encouraging knowledge and understanding of First Nations, Métis and Inuit culture, knowledge, worldview, ways of knowing, being and doing in education.

Committed to advancing reconciliation, the Alberta School Councils’ Association (ASCA) maintains this website area dedicated to Indigenous awareness and resources, for learning and sharing First Nations, Métis and Inuit information.

June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada, a time to recognize the rich history, heritage, resilience and diversity of First Nations, Inuit and Métis. Learn more...

Gaining foundational knowledge of First Nations, Métis and Inuit beliefs, traditions and practices results in an increased awareness and understanding of First Nations, Métis and Inuit histories and perspectives and supports the process of reconciliation.
