Institution: Université du Québec à Chicoutimi
Based on postdoctoral research conducted as part of a concerted action on cultural safety (FRQSC, 2020–2024), we will present projects to include Indigenous perspectives in school curricula. From a literature review prioritizing Indigenous authors, we will share transfer tools on Indigenous pedagogy and knowledge. We will also provide testimonials from people working in Indigenous communities, highlighting the initiatives developed to integrate Indigenous perspectives and the barriers encountered along this path.
Finally, we will begin a collective reflection on educational programs by discussing concrete proposals for pedagogical practices inspired by the Indigenous point of view, in all school disciplines.
