Topic #1: Nations

Whose traditional territory are we on? Research the Nation(s) on whose lands your school is built on. Which Nation(s) are we connected to in our community?

Ensure that all of your sources are Indigenous.

For your presentation include:

  • Whose traditional territories is your school built on? 

  • What is the closest reserve?

  1. Their name in English and their name in their language

  2. A photo of their flag

  3. Languages spoken 

  4. A quote about who they are from their own Nation

  5. The treaty they have signed (or they could be on lands without treaty which is called un-ceded territory) 

  6. 1-3 things that their Nation celebrates and that they are proud of (for example: do they host a festival, pow wow, treaty conference, graduation celebrations, Elder festivals, economic development events, etc.) 

  7. Population 

  8. Their own website or Facebook page which they host (not from outside sources)

  9. Add one or two items about this Nation that you find interesting
