 It's one of those courses where I come home and it's all I can talk about. Having Indigenous Studies as a graduation requirement is a simple but very effective step our education system can take because you know we're working towards reconciliation. Making this course a graduation requirement sends a message that learning about Indigenous history in Canada is just as important as the other course requirements we already have. They'll realize how enriching it is to learn about all these first people's cultures and traditions. Indigenous focus courses will help me see the importance of seeking knowledge from different peoples and cultures. I think people really need to learn what happened to the past to understand the future. I just think it's such an incredible experience that we should have been doing for a long time.
