he purpose of this unit is to provide students with an opportunity to learn about water and how it is viewed from an Aboriginal perspective. Water is one of the four sacred elements; the other three are Earth, Wind, and Fire.
This activity focuses on First Nation reserves. As a teacher, when teaching this section, you should be familiar with the present reserve system and the history behind the reserve system in Canada
Students will learn about extended families and the role they play within an Aboriginal community. As discussed in previous lessons, family or kinship ties set the limits of an individual's rights and responsibilities within the indigenous community.
