Strategies will be provided to support participants with creating an enhanced learning experience with a holistic approach. Support will be provided for educators who recognize the imperative that Indigenizing the curriculum should be done in close collaboration with Indigenous communities, involving their input and guidance. Approaching this process with sensitivity, respect, and a willingness to learn is crucial for its success.
