Abstract	This article explores the impact of the so-called 'blanket exercise', an interactive learning activity that engages individuals in rediscovering Canadian history and society through an Indigenous lens, in collaboration with First Nations, Métis and Inuit elders and community members. This exploratory and qualitative research discusses how the blanket exercise can engage education students on an emotional level and how it impacts their learning regarding a revised teaching quality standard that now requires teachers to contribute to a greater intercultural understanding between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples, and therefore play an active role in the reconciliation process.
