To Celebrate Diverse Voices: Indigenous Writers [S1 E33]

Welcome back to your Celebrating Diverse Voices Series!

As we at Brave New Teaching have committed to do the work to model anti-racist and anti-biased educational best practices, we have also committed to share ideas that can help others join us on this journey. This month, we’d like to highlight some Indigenous writers that you might consider adding to what you’re already doing or replace something that’s getting worn out. While the series aims to celebrate diverse voices during national heritage months, please know that we teach and examine these writers all year round. September is the month to celebrate, but from August to May, there are ample opportunities to read their work.
