Newfoundland and Labrador backs off plan to rename Red Indian Lake after criticism - Medicine Hat NewsMedicine Hat News medicinehatnews.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from medicinehatnews.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
First Nations kids could learn about the impacts of colonisation and invasion in their classrooms for the first time under proposed changes to the national schooling curriculum.
The Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority released draft changes to a broad range of subjects in the national curriculum including English, Science, Math, and the Humanities.
The changes stem from a review by an ACARA Indigenous advisory group which found “outdated” ideas did not reflect calls for truth-telling and inclusive language, including broadening terminology to include First Nations Australians as well as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.
The review called for greater recognition of the connection to Country, land and seas and the impact of colonisation, dispossession, with the refresh comparing and examining existing curricula in New Zealand, British Columbia, Singapore, and Finland.
Dempster said Red Indian Lake is being considered as the final resting place of Demasduit and Nonosabasut, but there was consensus among Indigenous leaders the name was not appropriate. She said Wantaqo ti Qospem was agreed upon by Indigenous leaders, which is why the province moved forward with the change. Since that time there s been a high volume of feedback, and I ve actually read most of them, Dempster said.
Name change fostered mistrust
Joe told CBC News on Thursday he s OK with renaming the lake something else, and the idea came about while looking for a peaceful place for a monument to Nonosabasut and Demasduit along the shore. The monument was designed by a young Mi kmaw girl, Joe said, adding the process has had Mi kmaq involvement the whole way through.
