Five Year Horizon for my Library Learning Commons

I don't currently work in my own library learning commons, so I tried to imagine a hybrid of the different libraries across the different schools where I work. The result exists in a bit of an abstract way, but I can imagine that if I was to walk into any of the libraries that I know in my district, I would likely be able to apply this chart to my context.

Questions:

1. As a settler on the traditional land of Indigenous peoples, I sometimes encounter reluctance from colleagues when it comes to learning about First Peoples Principles of Learning as outlined by the First Nations Education Steering Committee (FNESC). How might the library (and technology) serve to ease this transition for reluctant or nervous educators while being mindful and respectful of traditions?
   

2. What experiences do you have with community partnerships when it comes to external funding, community-based educational experiences in the library, and grant applications?
