I felt it was an appropriate time, during Remembrance, to show how technology, and the media, can be used to honour Aboriginal accomplishment.  Too often, great people are forgotten or not recognized, due to the colour of their skin or their ethnical background. (I am not saying this is the case with Tommy Prince).  But I’m certain there are many other native heros that have not be recognized.

I have shown the Canadian Military Heritage minutes previously to my students, with discussions on where soldiers originate.  Here is the vignette on Tommy Prince.   I have just found a second Youtube video, Tommy Prince: Canadian Hero at War,  which offers more infrmation on Tommy Prince’s exploits.  Together they make a great discussion and informational piece.
