Students establish the foundations needed for studying Canadian history. They examine Treaty relationships, the diversity of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples, the concept of worldview, and the importance of oral histories, place-based knowledge, primary sources, and multiple perspectives. Students develop skills for distinguishing evidence from interpretation and consider how historical narratives influence Canadian identity. The topic culminates in an evidence-based inquiry about whose perspectives are included or excluded in accounts of Canadian history.
