UNCLE TEACHINGS AND AUNTIE LAUGHTER.

The Rideau Hall Foundation, a non-profit organization, aims to increase the number of Indigenous teachers in Canada by 10,000 through an initiative that seeks to transform education for Indigenous students. The foundation has provided grants to seven post-secondary institutions to create new Indigenous-led teacher education programs and expand existing ones. Indigenous teachers play a crucial role in decolonizing Canadian classrooms and providing Indigenous knowledge to both Indigenous and non-Indigenous students. These teachers help students develop a sense of identity, pride, and connection to their culture, while also breaking down misconceptions and promoting a more holistic worldview.
