First Nations Traditional Foods of BC- M3 P2

This is a great resource for any teacher in BC looking for land based connections.  This could easily be connected to Outdoor Ed/PE if the students are going on walks to find the food items (maybe not moose, but hopefully some of the plants?), or connected to science/PHE/Nutrition when looking at the nutritional facts of each item.  While this is a general list for all of BC, I’m sure you could connect them with any specific region of BC.  This would be a very safe resource for a teacher just trying to start out as it has tons of great, easy to use information.

I connected this to the Okanagan College Indigenous Garden, which would also be a great learning opportunity for leaners in the Okanagan.

  1. Hi Christina,
    This is an awesome resource! I used it while teaching Science 10. Specifically the seaweed part, as one way of showing my students how salt is important for life.
