Resource List: Terminology
Terminology Guide (UBC)
A guide to terminology referring to Indigenous peoples. Created by the First Nations and Indigenous Studies program at UBC.
Indigenous Terminology, by the Dancers of Damelahamid

Guide for K-12 education
A guide to help educators find materials that centre or focus on First Nations, Métis, and Inuit worldviews, experiences and knowledges for teaching in the K-12 classroom. Developd by OISE, University of Toronto.
While it is impossible to have a comprehensive list of Reconciliation resources, we hope that this will be a starting place for those looking to learn more about the history of Indigenous people in their area, and about building reciprocal relationships with Indigenous communities, people, and artists. It is a living list, and will be updated as we come across new resources. If you would like to suggest a resource, we welcome you to email ceilidh@ontariopresents.ca.
