Students establish the foundational skills needed for Grade 7 Social Studies. They learn to interpret timelines, maps, primary and secondary sources, and historical perspectives. Students examine the diverse First Nations, Métis, and Inuit societies that existed across the land now known as Canada before and during early European contact. Learning emphasizes that these societies had distinct governments, economies, belief systems, languages, technologies, and relationships with the land. Students also begin analyzing how geography, resources, and worldview influence the development of societies.

Recommended Tasks
  • Create an annotated map of major First Nations, Métis, and Inuit cultural regions, including examples of governance, land use, and economic activity.
  • Complete a source-analysis routine using a map, oral history, artwork, treaty document, or archaeological source; identify its creator, purpose, perspective, and limitations.
  • Develop a class timeline showing major events from pre-contact societies through early European exploration and explain how different groups may have experienced those events.
