Lesson 65

 We began today's class by talking about the passing of the Pope. No matter one's faith, or upbringing, the position of Pope is a powerful one, and impacts global affairs. 

• We talked about Pope Francis's apology to the Indigenous Peoples of Canada - where it moved beyond past examples, and where it fell short. We looked at this news piece. 

We built on our previous discussion from "Haunted in the Bush" and Cherie Dimaline's interviews - and looked at this Reel (focused specifically on the reading of the text itself, not the comments before or after, nor the poster). We talked about ways in which this model of responsibility as a human differs from the current reality in the global economic system.

We talked about the necessity of passing on oral traditions - the safety concerns related to them as we read "Finding Direction" and "The Potential of Change."

Students caught up on notes, then we read to the top of page 125 (BLK 1) and the middle of page 120 (BLK 2).
