*Please note that it is always best practice to prioritize local Indigenous knowledge and culture, and consult with elders/knowledge keepers, especially when teaching about traditional Indigenous practices. If you are able to find an elder/knowledge keeper to come in and teach students, or even to do it through an online source such as Zoom, Teams or Facebook, this is always best practice.
