First Nations and Inuit ‘Eco’ Game

I came across this website. It has various activities, games, etc that are used to promote ecological awareness. I know that a very attractive feature of First Nations culture is the effective use of land and land based resources. In the First Nations and Inuit section of the site, there is a game for elementary school children. The premise is to help a band’s drummer heal and catch up with his band. With each roll of the dice, the drummer runs into some sort of trouble such as a burn, a toothache, or nosebleed, etc. With each issue, a variety of land based healings are available. The game player has to select the appropriate healer for that particular issue.

I thought this would be a great exposure activity for elementary school students. There is also a section dealing with land use activities.
