@9FHC68P1yr1Y
Only at the optional choice of the student
@9FBVJ5G1yr1Y
Yes, also creating awareness of Indigenous peoples history due to Canada. Discrimination against Indigenous peoples needs to stop. Every other race or culture is respected or unbothered. Educate! Or the cycle of disrespect and racism will only continue.

@9L4XKWX8mos8MO

@9GNXXXT1yr1Y

@9FQ2ZJY1yr1Y
Yes, but the importance/ value of this should be given regular review.
