Welcome to the episode 11 of “What the Family Studies?” Today we welcome Natasha Gleeson. Natasha is Inuk, having Inuit ancestry from Nunatsiavut (Labrador). Natasha is currently with the TDSB's Urban Indigenous Education Centre, where she is an Instructional Leader, supporting Indigenous Education through community connection, classroom and professional learning instruction, student success initiatives, as well as curriculum and resource development.  We are so thrilled to be able to learn from Natasha today about how we can educate ourselves on Indigenous history in Canada, how we can decolonize our pedagogy and practice and understand how we can incorporate Indigenous voices into our classrooms.
