Our team created the Indigenous Education Stock Photos collection due to a lack of open-source photos of Indigenous students for use in OER. The spirit of the photo collection is to allow educators to represent Indigenous peoples in their OER so that Indigenous students can see themselves reflected in their learning materials.
This project was funded jointly by BCcampus and the TRU OER Development Grant and developed in consultation with the TRU Office of Indigenous Education and a TRU community stakeholder session. TRU production and media teams and the TRU Open Press assisted in producing the content.
These photos have a CC BY NC SA license, which means that:
- You may use, adapt, and share them, but you must attribute the photographer and link back to the collection
- You may not use the photos for commercial purposes
- You must distribute any created derivatives under the photo’s original license
Please note that this collection is still under development – and we would welcome contributions!
If you would like more information about the photo project or the collection, please email Christine Miller (Project Coordinator) at cmiller@tru.ca.
