About Us
The SD 70 (Pacific Rim) Indigenous Education team has a commitment to diversity and inclusion. In keeping with Indigenous protocol and building respectful relationships between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous peoples in Canada, it is customary to acknowledge the traditional territories or ancestral lands of Indigenous peoples. We would like to acknowledge the land on which we work and learn is the traditional territory of the Nuu-chah-nulth peoples, specifically the Hupac??asath?, Huu-ay-aht, Tla-o-qui-aht, Tseshaht, and the Yuu?u?i??at? First Nations.The Indigenous Education Team has been created in the spirit of ?iisaak, his?uk?is? c?awaak, and c?awaack?imin to support the integration of First Nation, Metis and Inuit worldviews into our curriculum; with an emphasis on Nuu-Chah-Nulth worldview, culture and language.
1. Consultation and communication with Nuu-Chah-Nulth communities, councils and governments.
2. Indigenous student achievement and school attendance
4. Professional learning
The classroom focus of the Indigenous Education Team will be to both facilitate the integration of Indigenous and Nuu-Chah-Nulth culture and world view into the curriculum as well as co-teach these concepts with classroom teachers and Nuu-Chah-Nulth Education Workers.
