Overview of Lesson:
This mini-lesson builds on the unit content surrounding Canadian Aboriginal
and Treaty Rights. Students should gain an understanding of how
traditional life changed for Aboriginal people through the process of
European colonization. They should also know how little common people
today know about treaties, laws, and rules imposed on Aboriginal people.
Discussion will follow summarizing some interesting new knowledge
students learned, and what was the most shocking thing they did not
know before.
