The province says it will soon be mandatory for schools to teach Kindergarten to grade 12 students about First Nation treaties and residential schools.
The curriculum will teach students about the hardships that children in residential schools had to go through.
Aboriginal Relations Minister Frank Oberle made the announcement in front of hundreds of residential school survivors at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearings in Edmonton.
The curriculum will also teach students about the perspectives of the Metis, Inuit and First Nations people living in Alberta.
