Mapping Indigenous Culture and History
The Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada shows the locations of Indigenous communities, residential schools, reserves and more.
Rather than political borders, Canada is broken up into Indigenous language groups. This giant floor map, on loan from the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, was displayed at BSS, providing opportunities for Grade 7 and 8 Humanities students to learn about Indigenous history, culture and territories, and deepen their engagement with reconciliation. Students actively engaged with the map by asking critical questions about their own and Canada’s responsibilities to Indigenous communities.
