When students learn about Aboriginal Peoples and Reconciliation, the
First Peoples Principles of Learning are honoured, and they learn about establishing and maintaining a
mutually respectful relationship between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples
in this country. In order for that to happen, there has to be awareness of the past, acknowledgement of the harm that has been inflicted, atonement for the causes, and
action to change behaviour.
We are not there yet. The relationship between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples
is not a mutually respectful one. But, with an open mind and open heart, we can all learn, celebrate diversity, and tread everyone with kindess and respect.
