This introductory resource guide is for UVic Faculty of Education students looking for supplementary resources held by UVic Libraries on the topic of Indigenous Education.  This guide has a particular research focus on Indigenous Language Revitalization to support UVic graduate students enrolled in the Masters of Indigenous Language Revitalization.  Let me know if you have recommendations for additional resources to be listed on this guide.
