Prior to beginning my PSII I attended South Western Alberta Teacher's Convention at the University of Lethbridge. During my two days attending SWATCA I attended an FNMI Integration seminar which gave me lots of valuable insight and resources. Below are two resources I received while attending this seminar.

After my PSII is finished I still have 4 classes in my undergrad degree before completing my PSIII and graduating. For one of my electives I chose to take Introductory to Spoken Blackfoot. One of my biggest worries when teaching FNMI content in my PSIII and future career is not doing justice to Indigenous culture, or not being able to pronounce words correctly when reading the Blackfoot language in books. This class will not only give me insight into Blackfoot culture, but it also will give me the opportunity to learn to pronounce Blackfoot words, something that will no doubt benefit me in the future.
