Les Inuit Les Haida Les Cree Les Huron Les Mik'maq
Overview
The objective of this unit is to understand changes that have occurred in First Nations culture. At the end of the unit, students will be able to answer the following questions:
 
1. Has this particular group changed since contact with Europeans? How? Why?
2. What are the similarities and differences between the groups that you have studied?
 
This will be achieved by studying several First Nations & Inuit cultures both in the past and in the present. Students will conduct in class and online research. They will be collecting information on several topics pertaining to individual groups including food, shelter, language, clothing, artwork, spirituality, and games.
 
Five cultural groups (Mi'kmaq, Huron, Plains Cree, Haida & Inuit) have been preselected to represent both the geographical and cultural diversity of First Nations that find themselves in present day Canada. They have also been selected because of their are adequate and appropriate resources available for these groups.
 
Students will work with a partner choose a graphic organizer with which to organize and present their information including a venn diagram & semantic mapping. In addition, groups will create a PowerPoint presentation representing their First Nations people as a comparison with others as well as pre & post contact differences.
