In the spirit of continuing to learn...
This is a collection of resources that we use in our PRSD8 Social Studies classes and ELA classes.
We especially hope that these resources are useful in educating the ADULTS in our learning communities.

Updated in fall of 2023, a team of educators from the Kee Tas Kee Now Tribal Council Educational Authority, identified ELOs by viewing curriculum through the lens of land based learning (LBL), Cree ways of knowing and being (Nehiyaw Ways of Knowing), and the learning needs of students in their communities.
This land-based learning website is an excellent place to start if you are looking to make more authentic Indigenous connections to both the new and existing Alberta curriculums from K-12. Note that the resources focus on the context of the Cree in Northern Alberta and thus some resources or ideas might need to be altered from a Southern Alberta perspective.
This video is a version of the VHS video that we have used at EBHS since 2007. It is a powerful part of our Social Studies curriculum and has deeply impacted our students.
This is a great FREE online course. for adults.
It is video based, with occasional "quiz" questions inserted into the videos.
It takes approximately 20 hours to complete.
If registration is closed, another registration period will likely open in a few months' time.
