Indigenous Education in British Columbia
Last updated on August 16, 2024
Indigenous Education seeks to improve success and supports for Indigenous students, and increase the presence of Indigenous culture, languages and history for all students. It also aims to help teachers bring Indigenous knowledge into their teaching practice.
Indigenous Education aligns with commitments to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, the calls to action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, and the Draft Principles that Guide the Province of British Columbia’s Relationship with Indigenous People.

The raven & coyote represent First Nations teaching and learning; the human figure in the middle represents the children; the Métis infinity symbol is incorporated within the circle and the four points are Inuksuk - that represent the Inuit, which signifies vision and direction.
