If you are not familiar with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action (2015), please review this document before reading the Taylor (2017) article below. The Calls to Action are a direct result of the TRC's findings. You do not have to read all 94 Calls to Action, but do focus your attention on the ones that have to do with Early Childhood Education- Sections 10-12 and K-12 Education- Section 62 and 63.
Read the 5 page article, Towards Reconciliation: What do the Calls to Action Mean for Early Childhood Education? (Taylor, 2017). Here the author shares ideas of what the Calls to Action mean for Early Childhood Educators and how they relate to ideas such as child autonomy, culturally sensitive curriculum, Indigenous languages, parent participation, and honoring Treaty relationships.
