The Bruce County Museum and Cultural Centre is offering new educational resources for Treaties Recognition Week.
The week, ending Nov. 12, honours the importance of treaties, with the goal of promoting educational opportunities around treaty rights and relationships with Indigenous people and non-Indigenous people.
The online resources are available for educators and residents.
The new resources include recorded presentations from an event on Nov. 3, with a Saugeen Ojibway Nation knowledge keeper, Trish Meekins. The presentations were attended by nearly 200 students from G.C. Huston Public School, and focused on the importance of treaties in Canada and the history of those in what is now know as Bruce County.
In addition to the presentations from Meekins for grades three to five, and six to eight, there are also map studies, land uses, and the history of the treaties signed.
The Environmental Office of the Saugeen Ojibway Nation also helped provide a territory map and poster.
The resources are available on the museum’s education centre website here.
