First Nations, Métis and Inuit (FNMI) Education Resources

To support members in their learning and instructional practices, ETFO has developed resources and publications that focus inclusively on First Nations, Métis, and Inuit (FNMI) worldviews and perspectives. The resources are developed by ETFO members (both Indigenous and non-Indigenous) and with the broader Indigenous, educational, and labour communities.

Find these resources, as well as news and dates of significance, on the etfofnmi.ca website. We welcome you to use these resources as part of your reconciliation journey

For more information on ETFO’s First Nations, Métis, and Inuit educational resources and professional learning opportunities, contact Kyla King, Executive Assistant, at kking@etfo.org
