The Bead Timeline Story a visual representation of how long Indigenous people have been living in North America, at least 10,000 years, since time immemorial, importance of oral history, story, seasonal cycle and care taking of resources. The bead timeline resource was created by Suzanne Camp, a former SD71 District Resource Cultural Aide.
The video below shares the history of how the bead timeline came to be, and how Suzanne used the bead timeline in the classroom. We are grateful to Suzanne for her generosity in sharing this amazing resource with our school district!
Note: Suzanne has given permission to educators to use the bead timeline in their lessons. Please ensure that you acknowledge Suzanne Camp in the beginning of your lesson. This reflects the practice that we acknowledge where our teachings or knowledge came from.
