Website: Map of Ontario treaties and reserves

The Map of Ontario treaties and reserves website can be used to find a reserve or treaty within Ontario. When you enter a particular address into the search box the interactive map will display the reserve(s) and/or treaties accordingly. Additionally, below the map is a more in-depth/historical description of treaties available on the map.

Module 3 Post 5: First Nations Learners’ Engagement in Science Climate Justice in BC

Description:

This interactive and informational pdf guide on climate change and rising inequalities are highly recommended. When students view the world around and gain an appreciation of nature, they will develop an awareness of climate changes and issues which a teacher can use as a Segway to ponder on climate justice issues.

Teachers can refer to this handy Climate Justice in BC guide, which is divided:

Module 1: Introduction to Climate Justice

Module 2: Reimagining our Food System

Module 3: Transportation Transformation

Module 4: Rethinking Waste

Module 5: Fracking Town Hall

Module 6: Green Industrial Revolution

Module 7: Imagining the Future We Want

Module 8: Challenges to Change*

Module 8 is my personal favorite since students learn the inevitable challenges of social change, barriers faced and collective effort.

Post #4: Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada (app)

https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/ipac/id1352523505?mt=8

Similar to my previous post, this is an interactive map. Unlike the Native Land app, this map is less about visual representation and more about gathering general First Nations information about a particular area. So, for instance, if I use my location here in Toronto, I learn that this is the traditional territory of the Anishinabek, Haudenosauneega Confederacy, and Huron-Wendat Peoples. I also learn about the affiliations, homeland, and some other select information about these peoples, and am provided links to official websites.

Post #3: Native Land (map)

https://native-land.ca/

This interactive map allows users to explore the territories, languages, and treaties of Indigenous peoples in Canada and beyond. The interactions are very specific: one can choose to focus in on a language group, for instance. In terms of research, this is a great general tool for understanding how Indigenous peoples and languages are located in the world and in relation to one another. The treaties overlay also enables an exploration of treaty names on a map.

Post #2: Driftscape (app)

https://www.driftscape.com/home

This app provides information place, event, and tour information related to First Nations in Toronto as a map overlay (it provides other non-First Nations overlays as well, which can be toggled on and off).

This app is useful to understand the oft-ignored local First Nations history, geography, and culture of Toronto, and also provides a great (app or map) template for other places outside of Toronto. I think situating oneself in this way is important when beginning research as the local features predominantly in much of Indigenous literature.
