Aboriginal Canada Portal: Resources for Teachers

This webpage is a conglomeration of links in a section called ‘The Aboriginal Canada Portal and the Government of Canada Website’. The portal offers an array of information on programs and services specifically related to Canadians of Aboriginal decent. The Resources for Teachers Section, consists of a collection of links for resources that cater to Aboriginal education. This educational tool kit allows for teachers to help students to examine Aboriginal culture through the use of lesson plans, activities and other educational resources that are linked to Aboriginal culture and their understandings. There is an additional, interesting section at the bottom of the page called, ‘Did you Know,’ that includes interesting facts such as “Pine trees were used by First Nations to make tea that helped relieve coughs.”
