In Our Own Words: Bringing Authentic First Peoples Content to the K-3 classroom  was developed by the First Nations Education Steering Committee with assistance from the BC Ministry of Education. “This resource has been developed in response to desire on the part of teachers for more guidance and information on how to incorporate First Peoples materials into their instruction and assessment practices.”  The resource opens with a number of frequently asked questions including ones such as

• What is meant by First Peoples?
• What themes and topics might I encounter in First Peoples resources?
• How do I find out which resources are appropriate for my local area?

There are then 8 prepared classroom units that have been developed to provide crosscurricular education surrounding a specific topic.  A convenient chart on page 25 of the document breaks down the grade level and subject area that each of the units cover.  For example, Unit 5: The Spirit of Celebration is meant for a grade 2 level and will cover curricular expectations in English, Dance, Health and Career Ed., Music, Social Studies and Visual Arts.  Each unit provides an estimated amount of time to finish, curricular connections, and detailed lesson plans (including material lists) for the entire unit, making it very accessible to teachers of all backgrounds.
