Indigenous people & Resurgence in Canada.

Indigenous people & Resurgence in Canada.

http://www.cbc.ca/8thfire/profiles.html

On the Eighth Fire website is a list of Indigenous people who are making a social difference in Canada.

Individually or in partners, you will pick one person and create a presentation for the class.

1. Give a small biography on the person. Why has their life been interesting? Any challenges that they had to overcome? What are they currently doing in Canada to support Indigenous peoples, culture and land.

Why did you pick this person?

2. Pick out one or two Indigenous themes that somehow touch their life. Please research one of these themes in connection to this person.

For example: Tai Alfred is concerned with land and resources in Canada. You would find a project that he has supported or perhaps why this theme is so important to him.

3. Why is this person supporting resurgence and the resilience of Indigenous peoples.

What is admirable about these people?

Assignment

You will create a powerpoint or Prezi for the class.

Please include pictures and if possible, a small video.

Please ask the class one to two questions about your person/theme topic.

The assignment is worth 35 marks! You have the next few days to work on the assignment and it will be due for Monday, June 6.

If you would like to research another Indigenous person, please let me know.
