In the season finale of The Educator Experience, Joanne Buffalo shares a powerful Indigenous perspective on truth and reconciliation in education. Through personal stories and her work in the Kamloops area, Joanne speaks about the importance of reconnecting Indigenous learners with cultural knowledge once hidden by residential schools.
With honesty and deep care, Joanne challenges us to make education a space that actively supports reconciliation—starting with listening, learning, and building connections that honor Indigenous voices. She discusses creating culturally grounded programs, the role of elders and cultural workers, and how educators can foster meaningful dialogue through circle talks.
