The importance of educating youth in their own languages about their own cultures using curricula designed by, or with the participation of, Indigenous Peoples cannot be stressed enough. When youth are taught content in a manner that is culturally responsive to their Indigenous communities, it strengthens their identities and history, creating healthy spaces for self-determination.
