In this podcast, Canada's History speaks to Danita Lewis, a finalist for the 2018 Governor General's Award for Excellence in Teaching.

Danita has created a six-week program called First Nations Studies that is offered to both Indigenous and non-Indigenous students at her school. Through experiential and exploratory learning, the program creates an awareness and respect for Indigenous history, culture, and tradition; and serves to build bridges between indigenous and non-Indigenous learners.
