Question Answered step-by-step please answer questions according to Scenario- Michelle is an RECE…  please answer questions according to Scenario- Michelle is an RECE with 15 years of experience working in a child care centre. She has just returned from a weekend conference, where she heard an Anishinaabe Elder share opening and closing prayers, some stories, songs and smudging. Having just read the Truth and Reconciliation Commission report, Michelle is inspired and eager to respond to the calls to action. She immediately starts searching the Internet to learn more about indigeneity and ways that she can start indigenizing her preschool learning environment to make it an inclusive space. Over the next few weeks, she adds posters of The Seven Grandfather Teachings and a new round rug depicting the Medicine Wheel. When the children gather together in a circle, she offers to smudge them using the information from the Internet. Michelle is feeling good about putting into practice the things she has learned. One day, Michelle is asked to meet with her supervisor. The supervisor informs her that they received a call from one of the families. The parent would like to know where or who gave Michelle these teachings, items and information. The information and teachings she is giving the children are not reflective of the local Indigenous community. Reflection questions • Consider Michelle’s ideas and actions. ◦ Why might this situation be problematic? ◦ How could indigenizing the space in this way impact Indigenous children and families’ sense of identity, belonging and well-being? • What other resources could Michelle access to support inclusion in the environment and to ensure that Indigenous identity is respected and valued?
