Rosemary Simons suggests that First Peoples’ history and culture should be taught in a way that is geographically and historically relevant to students. She highlights the need to address gaps in knowledge caused by various factors, including government policies and lack of informed press coverage. She advocates for involving First Nations people in creating syllabi and guiding cultural institution visits, encouraging students to conduct their own research, and building an archive of shared knowledge. Her own experience designing an exhibition at the Brambuk Living Cultural Centre inspired her to learn more about First Nations history and culture.
