Important Note:

The Four Directions Model in these lesson plan templates and documents is circular to represent the holistic approach NCCIE encourages when developing a lesson plan from an Indigenous perspective.  It is not to be interpreted as a Medicine Wheel or Medicine Circle.  NCCIE acknowledges that not all First Peoples have Medicine Circle teachings, and NCCIE strives to respect the distinctness of Inuit, Métis, First Nations and Indigenous Peoples across Canada.  The holistic ways of thinking and being among Indigenous Peoples in Canada are the foundation upon which this Four Directions Model and Indigenous Lesson Plan Template have been developed.
