Welcome!

Welcome to the beginning of your group (modified) inquiry project!*

You will be working with 3 or 4 classmates (4 or 5 per group) to investigate a challenging piece of Canadian history – the Indian Residential School System. In order to get you started I have developed the question for you:

What was Canada’s Indian Residential School System and was it an act of genocide according to the United Nations’ definition of genocide?

You are asked to visit each page above in the following order:

1. Project Overview

2. What Do We Already Know?

3. Forming Your Small Groups

4. Assessment

5. Questions and General Discussion

6. The United Nations Definition of Genocide

7. Potential Resources To Get You Started

Now, let’s get started!

* It’s modified because I am giving you the question rather than you developing your own.
