Impacts of Contact by Assembly of First Nations on Apple Books
Rating
0.0 stars

As stated in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and by numerous writers, activists, politicians, poets and Indigenous peoples themselves, a nation’s culture is central to its identity and viability. To understand how a culture can be affected by the presence of external forces, it’s important to understand the complexity of the word “culture.”

Native Studies 10: Aboriginal perspective-Identity & Worldview
Rating
0.0 stars

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.

First Nations peoples are the original inhabitants of most of the land now called Canada. First Nations people prefer the name First Nations when referring to the collective. Individual Nations are defined by their own languages, cultural, and spiritual traditions rather than criteria developed or established by settler governments or academics.

Sixties Scoop

The Sixties Scoop refers to a period in Saskatchewan’s history when Indigenous children were removed from their parents and communities by provincial child welfare services.

This section contains a list of resources and curriculum connections for teachers to address with their students.

This is a link to the Ministry of Education's site and Sixties Scoop Resources.
