The amiskwaciy wâskahikan Edu-Site is a teacher resource designed to address a variety of outcomes in the Alberta Social Studies curriculum from a First Nations, Métis and Inuit perspective. The resource follows a timeline of events involving Indigenous and non-Indigenous people starting from pre-european contact up until present times. The resource examines the Edmonton area’s physical geography, explores it’s stories, history and culture and recognizes the historical significance of First Nations, Métis and Inuit people and places.
The amiskwaciy wâskahikan Edu-Site also supports healing and reconciliation by learning about our city's history from a First Nations, Métis and Inuit perspective, by following the Shared Beliefs and Understandings from the First Nations, Métis and Inuit Guiding Document and by acting upon some of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action.
The resource is divided into five separate lessons:
- Geography
- Cree Names/Archaeological Characteristics
- Forts
- Métis Scrip
- Papaschase
Further lessons and extensions will be added on a regular basis in order to further enhance the Edu-Site. A guided walking resource is also in development which will be designed to accompany this resource. The guided walk resource will be available at a later date and teacher PL's will be offered around the same time.
