Stolen Lives: The Indigenous Peoples of Canada and the Indian Residential Schools

Facing History & Ourselves (previously featured in the 06-18-2021 Scout Report) provides resources, workshops, and seminars to help schools and educators promote student engagement with historical injustices and reflection on history as it relates to their own lives and roles as citizens. This educational approach encourages critical thinking, community action, and exploration of human behavior and individual choice. History teachers may find use in this recent feature based on the book Stolen Lives: The Indigenous Peoples of Canada and the Indian Residential Schools. The program explores the devastating legacy of residential schools and their long-lasting effects on Canada's Indigenous peoples, with lessons rooted in primary source material to inspire rich classroom conversations and invite connections between past and present. On the page linked above, visitors can find links to a table of contents outlining the book's themes and content ("Use the Table of Contents"), information on obtaining French or English digital versions of the book or print classroom sets ("Get the Book"), video testimonials from students and teachers, news about the program and book, and opportunities for professional development. As of this writing, the two-week unit of lesson plans is undergoing revision, but a link is provided for teachers who wish to find out more about building lessons around these materials. Facing History & Ourselves is a non-profit that "uses lessons of history to challenge teachers and students to stand up to bigotry and hate."
