Indigenous Peoples have indicated that financial education is a priority for them and complements other training programs in their communities. . To be successful, financial literacy interventions must be community driven, created by and for Indigenous Peoples. These videos and activities allow students to explore the story of a social entrepreneur and leader who values financial literacy and gives back through his business to help his Indigenous community create a better tomorrow.First Nations entrepreneur Mark Marsolais-Nahwegahbow works hard to ensure his family’s financial wellness while making a real impact on his community. He founded a social enterprise that brings fresh drinking water to Indigenous families across Canada. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A-6JzC0IcwThe activities include multiple choice, vocabulary, short answer and open ended questions giving the students an opportunity to review advice on being an entrepreneur, giving back to your community and providing for your family and future.  

A project to wrap-up this module could be assigned and developed from the start of the module or at the end of instruction). If this were assigned at the start of the module, students could check in with their teacher after each step to receive formative feedback.Students will work through why it is important to make future plans, what their hopes and dreams are and put together a final project that showcases the connections between family, education, career, finances, lifestyle and wellness. 

Students can write a letter to their future self, outlining future plans (financial, education, career, family, wellness). This would be a nice reminder to themselves in the future regarding the plans they made before. Research shows that if you make a plan, you are more likely to realize those plans and dreams! Hopefully this will be a fun exercise for students to participate in.

Steps to participate: Write the letter, pick a receiving date, send the letter and verify the information. You can pick your delivery date or select 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, 10 years or a specific date that you would like. Letters can be private or public (anonymous). The letter goes to a an email address, so be sure to keep that email active (with password and access).

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
