Listening Party Toolkit

Indigenous 150+ was created as a response to the Truth and Reconciliation Calls To Action to celebrate First Nations, Métis and Inuit voices, educate Canadians and create shared experiences. To extend our impact we’ve created this resource to help high school teachers and educators bring Indigenous voices into the classroom!
