This being National Indigenous History Month here in Canada, where we recognize the “history, heritage and diversity” of the First Nations, Metis and Inuit people in Canada, I thought I would take a closer look at just what is being offered and shared for resources. One website that is very easy to locate is under the Government of Canada. Although not specifically connected to resources for the classroom, there are quite a number of resources and links for information on First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples. The website resource does break down the resources into four categories. One is on Read, where you can find ebooks and resources pertaining to culture, language, the land and history. I did notice right away the Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada, that we have in our own school library. The next section is on Listen, where you can find lots of podcasts on a variety of topics such as storytelling, languages and on reconciliation. The third section is Watch, and here you can view videos and films on Indigenous people and arts. Finally, the fourth section is on Try, and in this section you can try out some interactive resources as well as some other creative activities.
