Students establish the inquiry and geographic foundations needed for the course. They learn to distinguish primary and secondary sources, place events on timelines, interpret maps, identify continuity and change, and evaluate how perspective influences historical interpretation. Learning begins with the sovereignty, histories, and contemporary presence of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples in the lands now called Canada. Students examine how geography, resources, languages, cultures, and relationships with land shaped the development of different communities before and during the period leading to Confederation.
