Abstract
-
This teaching kit offers educators a unique opportunity to learn from us about our rich history and our contemporary lives. We have provided you with a wealth of information on our community, past and present. We do this first in each section of the Teacher’s Resource because it is important to us that we provide educators with as full a picture as possible.
Each chapter begins with quotes from Musqueam community members as a way to start the learning process and to reinforce that we, as Musqueam people, are sharing our history and our culture with you and your students. We hope these quotes, drawn from in-person
interviews, will guide you, inspire you, and encourage you and your students to learn more about us. Our goal is to build a better understanding of our history, our language, and our culture. Each of the learning resources in the kit is supported by instructions, guided activities, and suggested discussion questions that draw on aspects of our rich culture.
