Today is the first day of summer, but it is also National Aboriginal Day here in Canada.

Take a moment to educate yourself on some Aboriginal issues.

A good place to start is CBC’s excellent 4 part docu-series 8th Fire.

Each part is 45 minutes in length – my students were engaged the entire time, meaning you, too, can be engaged the entire time.

Host Wab Kinew introduces the series to you here:
