Whether or not you know you teach First Nations students you should spend some time staying current with the content of the Chiefs of Ontario website, as well as the websites of the First Nations peoples in your area. Doing so will result in a well-rounded perspective on the issues facing first nations peoples today, instead of only being exposed only to the often paternalistic view of First Nation issues as represented by politicians and mainstream media. Knowledge is one of the pathways to greater understanding. website: http://www.chiefs-of-ontario.org/
