Indigenizing vocal/choral music education: Towards an ethos of resurgence, reconciliation, and bridging

Abstract

The British Columbia (BC) Ministry of Education established educational policies to embed local Indigenous knowledge, worldviews and pedagogies in all grades from Kindergarten to Grade 12. As part of this policy, all music curriculum documents were revised between 2015–2019 to embrace Indigenous perspectives in classrooms. Accordingly, teachers have faced the need for support and resources for implementing the curriculum in a good way.
