First Nations University has developed a new science teaching resource called the National Science Laboratory Video Lessons for Indigenous Youth. The resource includes a variety of materials that bring together Indigenous knowledge and modern science, such as interviews with elders and knowledge keepers, laboratory manuals, and videos of lab experiments completed by students at Carlton Comprehensive High School in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.
FNU professor and project lead Arzu Sardarli explained that Indigenous knowledge on topics such as heat retention in teepees can be explained using the laws of physics and applied toward house construction today. "It's important not only for Indigenous students, it's very helpful for any student and I hope what we created within this project will be used by mainstream schools, too,” said Sardarli.
The educational materials developed include interviews with Elders and Knowledge Keepers, and laboratory manuals and videos for high school Biology, Chemistry and Physics classes.

SUMMARY OF UNIT This unit focuses on the worldview and identity of Aboriginal people, but also the world view and identity of the students themselves. It provides an opportunity for students to reflect on their values and beliefs, and how they relate to Aboriginal perspective. A major component of the unit also addresses stereotypes and how labeling impacts the identity of Aboriginal people. Students will be able to analyze a variety of text forms that contain stereotypes and create an informed opinion based on their understanding. It is hoped that by the end of the unit, students will have a greater awareness and understanding of Aboriginal worldview and identity, but their own as well. Included are all lesson materials and PowerPoints to accompany the lessons.
Please note that the Native Studies 10 curriculum has not been renewed since it was originally developed in 2002, so foundational objectives and learning objectives are used. Because our students are familiar with learning outcomes, the author simplified the objectives by making them more similar to outcomes.

In the past students had difficulty keeping their focus on academic collaboration when using One Note. It was key for me to help the students frame thought-provoking questions in their entries that would invite valuable comments. Also when commenting, it was important that the students knew the difference between social and academic writing. A true educational online collaboration is not about socializing, but about students and teacher helping each other grow in their learning. This was a different writing space than students are accustomed to. At the end of this unit the students had explored other student authored pages, talked about online safety, online identity and cyber bullying and worked together to create a display showcasing their novel study collaboration.

The National Museum of the American Indian honors American Indian Code Talkers.
During World War I and World War II, hundreds of American Indians joined the United States armed forces and used words from their traditional tribal languages as weapons. The United States military asked them to develop secret battle communications based on their languages—and America’s enemies never deciphered the coded messages they sent. “Code Talkers,” as they came to be known after World War II, are twentieth-century American Indian warriors and heroes who significantly aided the victories of the United States and its allies.
This site offers information on: - Native Languages - Boarding Schools - Code Talking - Coming Home - Survival - Recognition

** Cours destiné aux adultes / enseignant.e.s et non aux élèves **
« Bienvenue à cet apprentissage en ligne Nisitohtamowin ᓂᓯᑐᐦᑕᒧᐃᐧᐣ. Cette séance d’apprentissage en ligne d’une heure vise à favoriser la compréhension des perspectives autochtones au Canada. Il s’agit d’une ressource offerte gratuitement au public pendant le mois de juin afin de souligner le Mois national de l’histoire autochtone.
La prise de mesures pour comprendre les perspectives autochtones peut mener à la réconciliation, à de meilleures relations et à diverses occasions, notamment en ce qui a trait à l’économie, aux partenariats communautaires, à l’environnement et aux affaires. Ce cours ne constitue qu’un premier pas vers la compréhension. Nous invitons tous les participants à chercher d’autres occasions d’apprentissage, que ce soit auprès des Autochtones de leur région ou de l’Université des Premières Nations du Canada. »
** « Ce cours aborde des sujets destinés aux adultes et pourrait ne pas convenir à tous les âges. Il explore l’histoire des Autochtones au Canada, notamment les pensionnats et les relations entre les races. Des sujets délicats sont abordés, comme la violence faite aux enfants, les agressions sexuelles, les actes violents et la mort. Ces sujets peuvent provoquer des réactions émotives chez certaines personnes et nous encourageons celles qui en ont besoin à chercher des ressources de soutien locales. » **
