We are all born with rights that help ensure we are treated fairly. We all have these human rights and the responsibilities that come with them. Indigenous people have the right as individuals and as communities to protection for their languages, cultures — the ways of life that have been attacked and are still under threat. In Mino-pimatisiwin: Living the Good Life, students will learn about these rights and responsibilities, as well as about Indigenous role models. This special publication for Truth and Reconciliation Week 2024 will encourage readers to walk the good path as allies, inspired by artistic and community efforts that are fostering respectful relations.

To guide teachers in their own learning and to help bring truth and reconciliation into their classrooms, this magazine will be accompanied by supplementary educational resources available in English and French. The magazine, intended for students in grades 5–12, is offered in print and digital formats in both English and French.

There are 50 copies per box and orders are limited to a maximum of 300 copies. As a complement, you’ll have access to a free digital educator’s guide. Unfortunately, single print copies are not available, however, homeschoolers and members of the general public are welcome to register for the digital versions and accompanying resources.

Incomplete registrations are not guaranteed delivery of requested material. 

Please note: Due to high demand we are out of all print copies. You may still request digital versions.
