Honoring Indigenous cultures through hands-on learning

As part of National Indigenous History Month, grade 5 students of École catholique La Renaissance (Espanola) built artifacts to represent the dwellings of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples. Designed using simple and recycled materials, these creations illustrated each group’s unique adaptation to their environment and way of life. This interdisciplinary project allowed students to gain a deeper understanding of the richness and diversity of Indigenous cultures in Canada, while also developing their skills in Social Studies, Science, Art, and Oral Communication.
