indigenous learning

When looking for information we turn to the news for it. But how do we know that information is a reliable source? After taking time to review and compare these two articles about mandatory indigenous credit classes in Canadian colleges we can see the differences between a reliable source and an unreliable source. For example the CBC I believe is a reliable source. With a good reputation for providing accurate news, they also have senior reporters that understand how to deliver it in a non objective way. They are straight to the point and only provide facts. Their purpose is only to inform and provide information. The second article I compared was the northernbublicaffairs article.

They are all different kinds of communication and we should use all of them. In hindsight I wish I started my classes sooner but I am happy for the opportunity to start now.
