Toronto in review

So, I know I have to write a reflection paper on this trip, but I thought I would wind things up a little. On Thursday, we went to Mohawk College, and one thing that I didn't get around to mentioning was the Hoop Dance. Mohawk has built an outdoor classroom in the spirit of indigenous learning styles. It is very new, and they aren't sure how all it will be used, although there are many plans. The folks at Six Nations Polytechnic were pretty excited about this classroom so we saw pictures before we went. It was very special to see it in person, though. Hopefully, that classroom spells hope for the future of indigenous people in Canadian higher education. Everywhere we went, people said, "This program is just starting," and "things have only started getting better very recently." Hopefully these changes are a strong trend that will last far into the future.
