Indigenous Education

Reciprocity is connected to responsibility. It is the responsibility of people to share what they learn with others....Reciprocal relationships also play out in effective learning environments when teachers understand that they can learn from their learners. In fact, we are committed to creating learning environments that respond to learners, then we need to take the time to learn from the who they are, what they bring to the learning environment, what they can learn from each other, and what we can learn from them (133, WAYI WAH!, Chrona).

School District 22 (SD22) respectfully acknowledges that our district is situated on the ancestral unceded territory of the syilx (Okanagan) people. We honour the language, culture, history and teachings of the syilx people that are deeply connected to these lands. SD22 also acknowledges the contributions of the Métis, Inuit, and other urban Indigenous partners that reside in this territory. We recognize these territories, the syilx people, and thank them for sharing this beautiful land.
