​Listening from the Heart - Cara Shipp

A fascinating read! Its a book I won in an AATE competition last year and finally got around to reading. It didn't take me long but I know I'll revisit this book going forward. A few takeaways from it:

1. Indigenous generally refers to flora and fauna and First Nations refers to traditional custodians,
2. Use plurals - cultures, languages, peoples, histories - rather than the singular,
3. Use texts about First Nations peoples written by First Nations peoples,
4. Ask what they'd like to share or not share - don't presume,
5. Text suggestions are great and some are on my TBR.
​
Definitely one to read if you're wanting suggestions on bringing First Nations perspectives into English, but I will say that the ideas explored and concepts discussed can be applied to any literacy-rich subject.
