We have been learning about the First Nations people living in Canada in the late 1700's. We looked at maps of Canada and talked about how Canada has changed over the past 200 years. We looked at Ontario, and found Brampton on the map. We learned that the Wendat people were living in Southern Ontario at that time. Students explored the challenges facing people living off of the land and did some comparisons to life today. We compared our home to the longhouses of the Wendat people.
As we explored Ontario in the north, we learned about the Anishinabe who lived near Algonquin. We researched their way of living and added Wigwams to our homes posters.
By creating villages, we were able to see first hand the similarities and differences between the two First Nations communities and our own.
