There are many distinct Indigenous Nations on the land now known as Canada. Each culture is unique and full of stories, learnings, practices and traditions. Gain an appreciation of just a few Indigenous Nations and Ancestral, Artistic, and Cultural belongings during a live virtual lesson with an Indigenou Museum Educator, highlighting Indigenous Knowledges, Art, and Culture at ROM.

Learning goals:

  • Understanding Indigenous ways of being, knowing, and doing.
  • Not one homogeneous group: showcase the diversity of First Nations, Metis, and Inuit across what is Now Known as Canada.
  • The interconnectedness of all living things, which includes the land, water, sky, and everything in creation. Ideas of interconnectedness as reflected in art, language and stories.
  • Contemporizing and making Indigenous knowledges and understandings an important part of everyone’s life.
  • Raise cultural awareness and break stereotypes, especially the “vanishing race” stereotype that was the foundation of Indigenous Ancestors, Artistic and Cultural Belongings held at ROM.
