Our People Will Be Healed

Details

Our People Will Be Healed, Alanis Obomsawin’s 50th film, reveals how a Cree community in Manitoba has been enriched through the power of education. The Helen Betty Osborne Ininiw Education Resource Centre in Norway House, north of Winnipeg, receives a level of funding that few other Indigenous institutions enjoy. Its teachers help their students to develop their abilities and their sense of pride.

How can original Indigenous methods of education be restored to produce knowledgeable and contributing citizens that uphold their cultural integrity while coexisting with the general population? What are examples of traditional education and what is its purpose? How can education meet the needs of Indigenous Peoples? Research and explain how Indigenous education pedagogies could benefit all Canadians. How can the attitudes and beliefs of educators and education stakeholders contribute to Indigenous peoples’ sense of self-worth and levels of achievement?
