Looks at the collaboration of Indigenous and non-Indigenous to improve Indigenous education and research.
Discusses the area of Ontario where 40 percent of Canada's petrochemicals are processed and refined and where full information about events such as spills, flares, air releases, and even everyday cumulative exposures is not supplied to the First Nation due to the industry-governed notification system and inadequate regulatory legislation.
Lesson plan focuses on what cultural appropriation is, how it affects Indigenous peoples and whether it should be regulated by law.
