Aboriginal Perspectives was written from an Aboriginal perspective to fit the Alberta Aboriginal Studies 10 curriculum. This resource was reviewed by Elders from across Alberta. The textbook includes:
- a unique approach to teaching First Nations, Métis, and Inuit history, culture, and issues,
- effective chapter organizers provide material to consider as students begin and end each chapter,
- first-hand stories, ideas, viewpoints, and experiences of Aboriginal people,
- profiles of contemporary and historical people have made contributions,
- detailed maps, photos, and informative timelines which illustrate and summarize significant topics
- Talking Circle activities to encourage discussion and reflect Aboriginal traditions,
- special features on Issues for Investigation, Indigenous Knowledge, and Symbolism and Expression,
- samples of eleven Aboriginal languages,
- each chapter ends with a review to check understanding, encourage reflection, and apply and broaden knowledge and skills.
A companion teacher's guide is in development.
Peoples and Cultural Change (Aboriginal Studies 20) is also available. Contemporary Issues (Aboriginal Studies 30) will be available April 2005.
