1. Respect and appreciate the traditional steps needed to tan a hide. The teaching from Elders is a gift and the knowledge being passed on is so valuable to the continuation of Indigenous cultural practices. [Broad Areas of Learning] |
2. Working together as a community and learning from Elders in a social environment, rather than a traditional classroom is of utmost value. In the trappers and traders game, students will learn about trading and sharing of goods and services. This can even get into the restrictions placed on Indigenous hunters, traders and trappers by the Canadian government and Indian agents. [Cross-Curricular Competencies] |
3. Examine the impact of contact on Indigenous economy and the relationship within the Canadian economy, the land, environment, and newcomers through a process of reconciliation.
