Teaching classes about First Nations people is extremely important to the development of these students. The content will bring light to the horrible treatment that these people have gone through. It is crucial because it brings light to the history of Canada and it’s important that we discuss it so we can work on ways to make it better and improve our country. If we don’t acknowledge the past, then something similar may happen and we will have to make amends yet again for something that could’ve been avoided. I think the main purpose for treaty education is to shine light on the people that live in Canada and what we’ve gone through as a country to be where we are now. It’s extremely crucial to teach this in all classes.

We are all treaty people and we can all make an effort to better the relationship that we have with First Nations peoples. The treaties aren’t only meant to impact First Nations people, they are made to unify everyone who is a part of Canada. It’s important that we teach students to understand this so they can use this philosophy in their own lives. We are all one big community in Canada and the treaties are just another form of showing that.
