Why we capitalize the ‘I’ in Indigenous

Why we capitalize the ‘I’ in Indigenous

On April 1, Dr. Kerrie Charnley gave a talk, Why we capitalize the ‘I’ in Indigenous: Guidance on writing with and about Indigenous Peoples. Dr. Charnley discussed writing with Indigenous Style, from land acknowledgement to land back and why we use the capital “I” in Indigenous.

What is the most respectful way to communicate with—and about—Indigenous Peoples and individuals? In this webinar, participants will be introduced to guiding insights from Gregory Younging’s Elements of Indigenous Style (2018).  These insights will help us to understand the Truth and Reconciliation of Canada’s 94 Calls to Action, and particularly, in educational contexts.

In the presentation link below, Dr. Charnley shares “cutting edge,” recently published resources on writing, curriculum and pedagogy, for indigenizing the academy, classroom and beyond.
