​​以下故事是由詹姆斯·福勒高中提供的，他们最近在学校举办了一场纪录片放映活动，以支持和解。

詹姆斯·福勒高中非常兴奋地于2017年9月20日举办了纪录片《苏醒时刻》的放映活动。该片是卡尔加里国际电影节的开幕影片，展示了加拿大原住民文化和音乐的复兴，激励年轻人走向和解和使我们的教育体系在原住民化。

对于我们所有的学生，无论是土著还是非土著，这是一个难得的机会，让他们了解现代加拿大土著的含义，并打破殖民主义对加拿大社会产生的刻板印象和假设。在詹姆斯·福勒高中，我们将执行和解的倡议行动作为首要事项。这部电影为我们提供了将土著价值观、历史和文化融入我们日常学校生活的机会。学生们对这部电影作出了积极的反应，并迫不及待地与导演之一讨论了电影对他们的影响。

未来，詹姆斯·福勒高中的学生将与导演保持联系，向他们提供他们对电影的反思，并继续进行电影开始的对话。我们的学习主管和土著学习者毕业教练也将去各个班级进行电影讨论和我们可以汲取的学习反思。

理解加拿大土著民族如何利用音乐来促进他们文化的复兴，进而帮助土著青年和成年人对抗我们社会中殖民主义的遗留影响。考虑到我们学校多元化的人口特征，许多学生来自世界各地，这部电影及其信息以及我们学校中的随后对话将教会我们所有的文化如何保护自己的文化并尊重别人的文化。正如“卡奈伊”(Kainai) 长老格劳肖（Reg Crowshoe）所教导我们的，我们都是人类，我们的文化使我们成为自己并赋予我们自豪感。

​​The following story was provided by James Fowler High School about a recent documentary screening at their school and their work to support reconciliation.

James Fowler High School was excited to host a screening of the documentary film When They Awake, on September 20, 2017.  The film was the opening gala film for the Calgary International Film Festival and showcases the renaissance of Indigenous culture and music in Canada, which is empowering youth towards reconciliation and Indigenizing our education system. 

This was an incredible opportunity for all of our students, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous, to be exposed to what it means to be Indigenous in contemporary Canada, as well as to break down stereotypes and assumptions that colonization has created within our Canadian society. At James Fowler High School, we have made it a priority to enact the Calls to Action for Reconciliation. This film allowed us the opportunity to bring Indigenous values, history and culture into our everyday school life. Students responded positively to the film and they were excited to connect with the one of the directors on the impacts that the film had on them. 

Moving forward, James Fowler High School students will remain in contact with the directors providing them with reflections they had on the film and continuing the dialogue in which the film started. Our learning leader and graduation coach for Indigenous learners will also be going to classes to debrief the film and the learning that each of us can take away.

Understanding how the Indigenous peoples of Canada are using music to help revitalize their culture will in turn help Indigenous youth and adults combat the legacies of colonialism within our society. Given the diverse nature of our population, many of our students coming from many countries around the world, this film, its message and the subsequent dialogue in our school will teach all of our cultures how to preserve their own culture while respecting others’ cultures. As Kainai Elder Reg Crowshoe has taught us, we are all human beings, it is our culture that makes us who we are and gives us our identity and pride.
