Just Because We're Small Doesn't Mean We Can't Stand Tall: A Child and Youth Rights Movement

In this article, the authors share their research on a curriculum for social justice, truth, and then reconciliation as put forth by the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society (Caring Society). The Caring Society is a non-profit organization that advocates for equity and social justice for First Nations children and creates social justice educational materials for Canadian learners. The authors provide an overview of the Caring Society campaigns and educational research.

Early Childhood

People of all ages, including children, can participate in meaningful reconciliation activities by learning about reconciliation and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action, learning about the history of Canada from a variety of viewpoints, and learning about fun and engaging ways to get involved. Resources and activities for Early Childhood learners may include those that teach about Indigenous history and culture, expand on concepts like justice and fairness, and encourage asking questions.
