This session will describe a number of pedagogical strategies I employed when recently teaching Cherie Dimaline's "The Marrow Thieves" to a class of 20-2 ELA students. In this unit, we explored connections between this novel and social justice, decolonization, dreaming (as a source and form of knowledge), Indigenous understandings of human and more-than-human relations, and the question of settler complicity vs. allyship.
Jillian Pasieka is an ELA teacher at Jasper Place High School in the Edmonton Public School Board. She is also pursuing an MA in Policy Studies at the University of Alberta, with a focus on social justice.
