The Manitoba Education and Training staff compiled a list of unit plans for Elementary teachers that are geared at teaching students to value indigenous beliefs and culture. The guidebook begins by outlining indigenous cultural values such as; respect, caring, honesty and faith. These values coincide well with the character education program of any mainstream school. The value of faith may need to be introduced differently in a mainstream school environment, but it is a concept that can be tied in with hope and finding inner strength.
The guidebook offers three units for each grade from Kindergarten to Grade 4. Each unit touches on indigenous culture while highlighting practical applications for the students and engaging, cross-curricular activities that are meant to get students excited about the culture.
