The curriculum is developed and implemented by people who aren’t a part of the main stream of education. These people are members of the government, companies, and textbooks creators. They have the most influence in what gets put into our curriculum, but they have no idea what actually happens in the classroom. Teachers have some say, but they don’t choose what should be taught to the students. This is very alarming because we need people who are in the system to be implementing changes to make the curriculum better. If we don’t take advice from professionals in the field, than we can’t make strides to improve the curriculum.

There are many upsides to the treaty education document. Everyone wants the education for treaties and First Nations history to be better, and I think that’s the connection in the articles. The curriculum’s are also made by government officials, probably to try and make amends. This can create tensions because most government officials are white and know very little about First Nations history. It’s very important to get officials who can make the history as accurate as possible. It’s our jobs to get students involved with it, but we need an accurate framework to base our lessons off of.
