Decolonization of Curriculum in the Trades (download on page is a IMSCC file)
Katharine M Davis and Jennifer Maracle
"This resource seeks to bridge the gap between Western trades education and Indigenous ways of knowing, with a focus on enhancing the cultural competency and understanding of trades professionals. Modules have been created to support the Skills and Trades faculty as they learn how to incorporate Indigenous ways of knowing and traditions in vocational education. This resource will help guide in the development of assignments, and other learning materials. It will aid instructors in the creation of a curriculum that is respectful, collaborative, and culturally sensitive.
The views expressed in this publication are the views of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect those of the Government of Ontario or the Ontario Online Learning Consortium."

The library at Northwestern Polytechnic recognizes that our catalogue and resource descriptions contain language that reflects the biases, norms, and perspectives of the time in which they were created. In particular, for resources about persons and groups, this language is often outdated and harmful. These descriptions also incorporate controlled vocabularies, such as the Library of Congress Subject Headings, which include some headings (e.g., Indians of North America), that are offensive or inappropriate. We use international standards for description, but support and actively participate in efforts to update and change these practices as we strive for descriptions that are inclusive, respectful, and do not cause harm. We acknowledge the critical importance of community collaboration in these efforts, and as residents on Treaty 8 territory, we commit to working together with our local communities to make these changes.
