This article considers the importance of widespread teaching of colonial histories to future generations of students. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s 2015 report, Calls to Action , asserts that the lack of historical knowledge among most Canadians has serious consequences for Indigenous peoples, and for Canada as a whole. Using the Responses to Interpersonal Violence framework, this paper explores the capacity of educators to teach colonial histories in a way that indicates supportive social responses and a recognition of the ongoing colonial violence lived by Indigenous peoples in Canada. It also makes recommendations on core principles of teaching colonial histories to Indigenous and non-Indigenous students in a responsible way that respects the intentions of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

本文考虑到对后代学生进行广泛的殖民历史教学的重要性。加拿大真相与和解委员会2015年的报告《呼吁采取行动》称，大多数加拿大人缺乏历史知识对土著人民乃至整个加拿大造成严重后果。本文使用对人际暴力的回应框架，探索了教育者讲授殖民历史的能力，这种方式表明了对社会的支持和对加拿大土著人民持续的殖民暴力的认可。它还以尊重真相与和解委员会的意图的负责任方式，就向土著和非土著学生教授殖民历史的核心原则提出建议。
