The Collaborative Indigenous Learning Bundles are an online teaching resource that enable instructors to incorporate Indigenous ways of knowing into the classroom. Created and delivered by Indigenous experts, the Bundles provide a factual and theoretical basis to help instructors bridge the gap between their course content and topics relevant to Canadian and Indigenous peoples today.
