Traditional Teaching of the Community

Topic 7.1: Elders or traditional knowledge keepers share their stories about pre-contact homes in their local community

Every First Nation had its own unique type of home in the pre-contact era. It is important for young people to learn about the types of pre-contact homes that existed in their own traditional territory. Elders or traditional knowledge keepers can share stories and experiences about these traditional homes. Through these stories, learners can connect with and better understand their community’s history.
