Namwayut: we are all one. Truth and Reconciliation in Canada

 Welcome to October.  By mistake I published two posts yesterday.  One of them was for today.  Oh well.  Here is one that I should of put out yesterday but I just saw this video this evening.  You can show it to your classes even though it was for Reconciliation Day yesterday.  If you are not Canadian but from the US I still think the video is appropriate and it is not long.  To see the video click here,   hopefully after checking out my amazon.ca ads below.   If you are Canadian and making any amazon.ca purchase please click on my links below first as I will get a small commission on anything you buy even if it is something else.   Thanks.  This post may contain affiliate links that earns me  a commission at no extra cost to you.

Indigenous Perspectives

If you are teaching History and/or any of the Understanding Contemporary First Nations, Metis and Inuit Voices  (NBE) courses you might want to look at the guide pictured above by clicking here.

Treaties Recognition Week

It is Treaties Recognition Week in Ontario.  Here are a couple links for some resources for you.

Try these ones by clicking here or here or here or here.  

Native Land

I saw this link from Martha M.  This resource called Native Land might be of use if you teach social studies, geography or history, especially with the new Ontario curriculum becoming mandatory in September 2018.  To see the website click here.

The Indigenous Peoples of the Arctic

If you are teaching a course that involves the Inuit you might want to look at the website "The Indigenous Peoples of the Arctic".  Keir Clarke describes the website as "an Esri story map about the peoples who have lived in the Arctic for millennia. It looks at where indigenous populations live in the Arctic, where indigenous languages are spoken and the regions of the six Permanent Participants of the Arctic Council.

As well as exploring the different indigenous cultures and languages and where they live in the Arctic this story map looks at the history of colonialism in the Arctic and more recent attempts to establish the indigenous peoples’ right to self-determination. It includes a detailed look at the Arctic Council and how it operates."
