The only aboriginal in the curriculum (so far)

Today my two blocks of grade 8's attended a presentation from the school drug abuse liaison where they watched a video following the tragedies faced by several different drug users.  The central figure in the film was an aboriginal youth just a few years older than myself.  Although his heritage wasn't directly referenced I realized that this was probably the first aboriginal person students have seen during my class.  This experience woke me up to the necessity to present more than a single story (especially a negative one) in my classroom.  I will be on the lookout for opportunities to include other aboriginal people in my curriculum.  3 weeks in and still no AbEd being applied =(
