Week 7: We Are All Treaty People

3/1/2017

What is the purpose of teaching Treaty Ed (specifically) or First Nations, Metis, and Inuit (FNMI) Content and Perspectives (generally) where there are few or no First Nations, Metis, Inuit peoples?
I believe it is important to provide this knowledge to everyone whether or not they are of First Nations descent. Providing this knowledge is so important to Canadians and North America in general because First Nations' people have a rich history with the land. So giving people those new connections and perspectives to think about might make them more respectful for the place that they come from. It may also make them more appreciative. Given all the hardship and loss that the First Nations had to endure over time.

What does it mean for your understanding of curriculum that "We are all treaty people"?
I think this means that since we all operate on this land and share it with one another that we should be more appreciative of it and the knowledge that we receive. Treaty Ed should be important to every student not just First Nations people. Being able to incorporate this important information in the curriculum is necessary for the development and appreciation for these things.

Thank you for your post, I agree with you that the First Nations have been a huge part of Canada's past but I also believe they are a part of our future as well.
I like that you mentioned "we should be more appreciative" of the land. This is something I believe we take for advantage. Treaty Ed should be taught to everyone even if they have not ever had a one on one interaction with First Nations.
