If one positive has come out of the pandemic lockdown for David O’Connor, it’s the large increase in educators he’s been training in Wisconsin as a result of online learning. O’Connor serves as American Indian Studies consultant for the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. His job includes providing training workshops that show educators best methods to teach about Indigenous people in schools. The initiative was borne out of Act 31, the state’s requirement to educate children about Indigenous treaty rights, history and culture. The legislation was passed as a response to the frequent violent and racist harassment of Ojibwe spearfishers who were practicing their treaty rights in the 1980s in northern Wisconsin and is meant as an effort to combat ignorance through education.
