1# – Cree Code Talkers
Documentary telling the story of the Indigenous people who were used as code talkers for the Canadian/US Military. It wasn’t until recently that their stories are being told. This is a trailer that looks at the lives of the Cree Code talkers and focuses on Charles “Checker” Tomkins who was one of the most influential Cree Code Talkers.
#2- Musqeuam Nation
During a Pro-D I had an amazing experience attending Musqueam Nation and learning about their culture. I really enjoyed Alec Dan and his story telling. I found this video of him sharing how Musqeuam got its name. He speaks about the two headed serpent…. but I will let the him tell it.

#4- Aboriginal Perspectives Website- Aboriginal Mathematic Games
http://aboriginalperspectives.uregina.ca/about.shtml
This is a website where it shares different games that were created by First Nations Peoples. The math games are broken down in to three sections, chance, strategy and lifestyle mathematics. I enjoyed looking at the strategy games because it makes you develop critical thinking and problem solving skills to defeat your opponent.
This website was designed by the faculty and students at the University of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada and from the Faculty of Education, the Faculty of Science and the Saskatchewan Urban Native Teacher Education Program.
#5- I have put up Surrey School Districts Aboriginal Department. They have been such an amazing resource for me to use in the classroom. They provide Aboriginal resources in math, science, arts, social studies. https://aboriginalresourcesforteachers.weebly.com/
