@vobili12 This is a great idea to make sure it is in schools and accessible! I agree that it is so important to keep educating ourselves.

A8. Talk about the subject with students of all age. We now have a National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada, we have no excuse not to be talking about it in schools. I hope in the future I can bring more indigenous voices into my classroom #shelfietalk

A7. I was so lucky to be present at a live showing of this performance and I always recommend it as a visual commentary on MMIWG. #shelfietalk youtu.be/q_vqlZJofo0

A6 I think it would be great to read the novel and have students create an expression of reflection. Perhaps involving indigenous community members in the classroom talking about what activism/action is happening and a group discussion on how students can participat #shelfietalk

A5. Having books like If I Go Missing in the classroom helps create a conversation that needs to be happening. I would say that if a 14yr old is feeling and writing these things it is important for other 14yr old's to read and talk about these issues #selfietalk

A4. It is another reminder of how awful the situation truly is. It is very much a human rights issue. There is no reason or just explanation for there to be less resources or concern from one missing human to the next. Indigenous rights ARE human rights.#shelfietalk

A3. Definitively when she asks to be treated as someone other than she is, it was truly heartbreaking to read that this young girl is begging for a part of her identity to become invisible, or else she feels she will be #shelfietalk

A2. That a 14 year old girl living in Canada is not only fearful and worried about these things but that she feels she needs to asked to be seen and treated as someone other than who she is #shelfietalk
