Yukon College – Russian Aboriginal Peoples

http://www.yukoncollege.yk.ca/~agraham/nost202/aboppsru.htm

 

A site is designed by the Yukon College which contains an extensive list of Aboriginal Peoples of the Russian North. 

Stylistically, this site is very plain.  It is a very detailed list, sorted alphabetically instead of geographically or by language types.  However, there is a wealth of information here.

Each Aboriginal group has numerous links to sites with historical background, language history and origins as well as cultural and artistic links.  The links for each group are informative and engaging.

I particularly appreciated that there were links about languages as well as photographs and a thorough bibliography at the end.

Open School BC Website – BC First Nations Studies 12

http://www.openschool.bc.ca/features/bcfns12.html

 

This is an Open School BC web site which outlines the course content for the BC First Nations Studies 12.  The site provides a short description of the 4 course modules, as well as the text used for the course and the print material available from the ministry.  The module chart provides a useful outline for the course. 

The resources which support this course seem to be very expensive, especially if you want to purchase the Media CD which cost $699.  It seems to me that this cost may be prohibitive.

The most interesting part of this website is under Features which states that the course was “developed by BC teachers, instructional designers and multimedia experts.”  I wonder why they did not use any Aboriginal experts, or if they did, why they did not see fit to credit them as such.
