Not only will teachers be able to teach about the M\u00e9tis but they will also utilize strategies that foster and promote literacy development (listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing, and representing). The stories used in this guidebook are written and illustrated by M\u00e9tis authors and illustrators. Each sto\u200bry brings traditional and contemporary M\u00e9tis culture to life. They honour the past and present. M\u00e9tis children often see themselves in these publications. Non-M\u00e9tis students will see and connect with the universal themes and relate them to their own lives while learning about M\u00e9tis culture.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, this resource is about engaging readers in the history and traditions of M\u00e9tis culture through literature. M\u00e9tis children\u2019s literature is found in classrooms, and in school libraries and public libraries all across Canada. Teachers use the books in various ways to bring awareness of the culture and teach outcomes. However, teachers are not always an \u201cinsider\u201d in the culture, and often search for ideas on how to incorporate M\u00e9tis content into their practice. There is a desire by teachers to be more inclusive, but they may not know how. This resource assists teachers in being culturally responsive while at the same time allowing them to teach provincial outcomes.<\/p>\n<h3>M\u00e9tis Nation of BC<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1063\" src=\"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/indigenous-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2021\/05\/Metis-BC-Nation.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"217\" height=\"287\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Grade 7 M\u00e9tis\u200b Cross-Curricular Teacher Guide (from M\u00e9\u200btis Nation of BC)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/indigenous-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2021\/05\/Grade-7-Metis-Cross-Curricular-Teacher-Guide.pdf\">Grade 7 Metis Cross Curricular Teacher Guide<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>MIKI&#8217;SIW M\u00e9tis Association\u200b<\/h3>\n<p><strong>\u200bThe M\u00e9tis Nation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The advent of the fur trade in west central North America during the 18th century was accompanied by a growing number of mixed offspring of Indian women and European fur traders.
