Students can investigate important questions like "Do you talk about money in your home with your family? How about with your friends? ​ Where do you go to learn about money? Why?" with the NGPF presentation. Students will explore the advice from a family member or trusted adult (teacher, principal, etc). using the "Money Interview". Teachers may also use the previous Money Interview Results document and have the students "categorize" the advice (such as savings, investment, credit, career advice, etc). This allows the students to see what other adults have said and learn from the advice of another adult.

Indigenous Peoples have indicated that financial education is a priority for them and complements other training programs in their communities. .

Indigenous communities have traditionally shown skill and strength in managing resources to support their community on an ongoing basis. People have understood and practiced the concepts of budgeting and saving, managing resources by budgeting so that they last the year, and putting aside savings for future use. In today’s economy, managing money can feel stressful at times. A helpful step is to identify goals for you and your family. This booklet provides a set of  activities to help you do that. The worksheets can help you plan your money goals, track your spending, make a budget, and get ready for tax time. The land is our teacher. It teaches us about saving, sustainability and security. At creation animals, birds and fish were asked what they could teach humans. The animal world said humans can learn from our values, character and behaviour. In this booklet the animals will teach you about managing your money. Simon BrascoupéAnishinabeg/Haudenausanee Bear ClanMember of Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg First NationVice-President Education and Training, AFOA Canada

Money StoriesGrounding Indigenous Youth in the Lessons of their EldersWhat is it?Money Stories is a customized money management training program for Indigenous youth. The program combines Indigenous Elders speaking about their experiences with money, with facilitator-led activities about money that are relevant to youth. “We (Elders) need to help the next generation out of poverty. Young people have gifts and talents that should be used. I believe that preparing them for the future, one day they’ll go out into society with the experience and confidence to know they can make it.” Elder Lucy Guiboche.Money stories is delivered in eight chapters. Topics covered include Money, My Community & Me, Building Assets, Goal Setting & Problem Solving, Gathering Information, Budgeting, Banking, and Credit.

Listen to M.B.A. student Kevin Liang as he shares his experience as a money novice while in college. Listen for his call to action, and think about how you can put his advice into practice. Topics include: Why do you think people often feel uncomfortable discussing their financial situation? What impact does financial literacy have on an individual’s future opportunities and societal inequality? What are the risks and benefits of not discussing financial matters openly? What does the narrator's story tell us about the social stigma associated with discussing money? How can being open about financial struggles and successes benefit individuals and communities? Discuss how early financial education could have changed the narrator’s family situation. What role does early financial education play in preparing for unforeseen financial challenges? Reflecting on the video, why might someone's financial literacy be linked to their family background or upbringing?

FL10.1 Explore how value systems, social factors, personal experiences and cultural backgrounds can influence financial decision making.  Whether we realize it or not, we use money everyday! However, we’re not always aware of how we use our money or why we make the financial decisions we do. People decide how to use their money based on their personal values, or what they judge to be important in their lives. Take some time now to identify what your students value!  Students can discuss their personal financial decision-making process, identify their money personality based on personal behavior and choices and analyze financial decisions and the influence of personal/external factors.

The following resource from the Sask DLC Financial Literacy 10 course contains: a viewing guide for videos on various cultural perspectives on financial decisions, an article and information to help the students begin to write their own plans, and the "Money Story" Assignment

Money is one of the oldest aspects of human culture, likely predating the written word. It's woven into the fabric of virtually all human activity, like food, family, work, religion, and celebration. So it's not surprising that there is a wide variety of unique money customs around the world. Students will explore new vocabulary, learn about various financial routines that differ between cultures, and respond to some multiple choice short answer and reflective questions.

Students will be able to reflect on a variety of personal values and how these values can influence their financial decisions. Students can also use the "MOVE" activity to explore thier own beliefs and alignments with certain "money value statements". This activity can also demonstrate how values differ from person to person.
