(Entry 1) Website: Oneida Language

For the final entries in my weblog I was approached by a (teacher) colleague who was interested in resources available to teachers of elementary (primary) students in Ontario.  In particular she wanted to help students learn about Indigenous language and culture through the lens/viewpoint of Indigenous community members.  We were able to find a few suitable resources created by Indigenous communities, other resources, however, came from the government, NGOs, or other organizations interested in improving the teaching of Indigenous cultures in the mainstream classroom.

Website:  Oneida Language

For teachers interesting in immersing students in different Indigenous languages and cultures (particularly those found in Ontario), I came across the Oneida Language and Cultural Centre website.  There are a number of different types of resources available on this website but in particular, the resources I was primarily interested in, are those that share Indigenous language(s) with elementary students.  There are areas within this website that allow students to hear words spoken in Oneida (and the phonetic spelling of the words as well).  There are a number of other resources available to teachers as well (lesson plans, and activities for example).

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.

This article on Activehistory.ca provides a brief overview/explanation of the names of the treaties for each territory in Ontario and how their names came to be; this is a great reference article for those looking for a quick, concise explanation of the treaty naming conventions (and the history behind how treaties came to be named) in Ontario.  There are links to other resources within the article and maps as well.
