Resources For Educators
  • Aboriginal Education: Manitoba Education & Training
  • From the British Columbia Teacher's Federation:
    First Nations and Métis Education

  • Kid's Stop & The Learning Circle: on the Canadian Department of Indian Affairs website: Free - easily accessed - contains a LOT of useful information and activities, relating to topics such as Aboriginal place names, traditional herbal remedies and so on. Through this site, teachers can write away for OR download copies of The Learning Circle, which Indian Affairs "created to meet a pressing need for simple classroom activities that educators can easily fit in their curriculum. The guides are geared to educators of children aged four to 14. The simple activities included in each Learning Circle have been designed to help students learn more about First Nations and related issues through fun and interactive exercises. Younger students will enjoy the traditional stories and games, while older children can learn more about a range of topical issue, including treaties and self-government." In the view of some of CAAS' Advisors, the most advanced curriculum resource materials (ages 12 to 14) reflect the official Canadian government perspective on self-government -- a subject on which there is no consensus among Aboriginal Peoples. See: Evaluating Aboriginal Websites. You can also order some terrific free stickers, posters, pamphlets and other resources from this site.
