First Nation Housing Topics

Topic 2.2: Past and present First Nation homes of my community

First Nation community members have the same basic need for shelter. A timeline of First Nation housing shows different kinds of houses in different time periods, before and after contact with the newcomers who came from across the oceans. The shapes and sizes of houses have changed over the years. The history of housing in the local First Nation is no different. Children in the community need to know the history and development of their own local housing.
