FNESC: BC First Nations Land, Title, and Governance Teacher Resource Guide (2019)
The BC First Nations Land, Title, and Governance Teacher Resource Guide is intended to provide support for teachers and students in all BC schools, including First Nations, public, and independent schools, to gain an understanding of traditional and contemporary forms of First Nations governance. It provides background information relevant to all teachers and students, and provides suggested activities and resources for Grades 2 to 12.
This guide is also intended in part to address the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, particularly the call to “integrate Indigenous knowledge and teaching methods into classrooms” and “build student capacity for intercultural understanding, empathy and mutual respect” (clauses 62 and 63).
