The Learning Circle
The Learning Circle: Classroom Activities on First Nations in Canada Ages 14-16As an interdisciplinary, student-centred educational unit, this document is designed to enhance the understanding non-Aboriginal students have regarding issues and realities facing First Nations and Inuit youth today. The depth and complexity of the issues, history and cultures of First Nations and Inuit are not completely presented in these narratives. It is recommended that educators and students pursue and investigate additional resources to deepen and broaden their understanding. A wealth of information exists about Aboriginal peoples in Canada; however, be wary of outdated sources. Current resources for further exploration are included within the narratives and the activities.
