A study of art, oral traditions and literature in the First Nation community. Students will have the opportunity to learn about First Nation businesses and discover how cultural influences are used in their practices and have contributed to their success.

There is an intricate link between culture and language. Many people would argue that a culture is unable to survive without language as the basis of communication. It is important that students understand how language is important to their own culture and to the culture of others.

The lessons focus on the importance of oral history, storytelling, and legends as well as exploring the role of Elders in the Aboriginal community. We have developed an excellent resource base that will allow students to examine alternate ways of recording history such as through rock art and medicine wheels.
