Washing Away Identity
Tile #12 Washing Away Identity
Teaching Statement:
The denigration of children’s identity began on the first day, with forced washing and disinfecting, and the idea that “white is right.”
Reflective Questions:
What assumptions were made about Indigenous children and why?
If the teacher assumes that you are dirty and need to be cleaned, what messages does that send to children?
