What do you know about this movement?
This is an informal discussion for students who are interested in introducing themselves to the class more or less in the context of this course. No one is under any pressure to share information that they are not comfortable sharing.
For today, I was hoping that people might introduce themselves. So here goes, my name is Ms. Carruth, I am the teacher, and I like to start off by saying even though I sort of look like I might be First Nations, Métis or even Inuit - I am not. I think that it is important to let everyone know this. I think it is important not to appropriate* a culture that is not my own. Meaning - I will share all of this information with the qualifier that this is my understanding of the culture base on teachings I have read, heard or witnessed. * take (something) for one's own use, typically without the owner'spermission Which is the best and why?
