    Abstract
    This process paper and major project fills a gap in resources for educators to understand Indigenous perspectives and integrate Indigenous educational methodologies into their own practices. As a step toward reconciliation in Canada, educators are directed by employers to Indigenize their curriculum yet question how to do so. After reviewing relevant literature, a website was created to support educators in building capacity for intercultural understanding, respect, growth, and relationship. The website leads viewers through Indigenous perspectives then moves to four elements of Indigenous educational methodologies and practices: relationship with place, circle, the story, and mentorship. A final section applies the methodologies to blended and online learning environments. Website design includes clear navigation and separate sections for background information, applied examples, and additional resources. Anonymous survey reviewer findings were integrated into the final website version. A Home Page redesign led to inclusion of author personal presence and a more human element. Reviewers found the information and examples useful, adaptable, and applicable. Many recommended the website to colleagues or teacher trainees. The major project met its intended outcomes and created positive unexpected outcomes. Both the website content and the intentional visual, oral, and nature-based design focus created an unusual, non-text-based resource for educators.
