This talk explores the alignment of educational curricula with the economic and cultural aspirations of Indigenous communities. Beginning with the historical context of exclusion through policies like the Indian Act and residential schools, it examines the impacts of systemic barriers on Indigenous economic participation. We then discuss truth and reclamation as part of an active approach to reconciliation, highlighting how Nations are reclaiming control over land, education, governance, and economic development. By integrating Indigenous knowledge, leadership, and values into curricula, we aim to empower communities and move closer to a $100 billion Indigenous economy.
