Has the resource been reviewed or refereed?
Are there spelling, grammar, or typographical errors?
This site offers many different articles and teaching practices. The articles that I read are peer reviewed but, I would need to check each on on a one off basis. Site is very professional looking and and there does not appear to be any spelling, grammar, or typographical errors.

This is a website that I will use to find ways to incorporate Indigenous teaching practices into my classroom
Final Recommendation: Will you use this resource? Why or why not?
I will definitely use this resource, although I will need to adapt some of the material to reflect the content that I am teaching.
