On Monday I was at a workshop with Jo Chrona from FNESC exploring the BC First Nations Land, Title, and Governance Teacher Resource Guide. It is a great resource with well laid out lessons and resources. This guide is available as a free download and is invaluable for anyone exploring land, title and governance in BC with their classes.
This workshop also got me thinking more about accessing local resources and histories to layer onto some of the lessons. With a quick visit to the PGDTA Aboriginal Education Resources page I came across the Native Land Territory and Language map. This is an interactive map that comes with a teacher's guide. This is a great resource to spend a bit of time with especially if you are teaching social studies.
