Aboriginal Peoples

Hello Grade Fives!

We have been discussing Canada’s Founding Peoples. Most recently, we have been discussing the First or Aboriginal Peoples (the First Nations, Inuit and Métis). Today, you will begin a short research project where you will look at four questions:

1. In what part of Canada do they live?
2. How did they find food in the past?
3. How did they make clothing in the past?
4. What other facts do I know?

You will present this information, in note form, in a chart like the one below.

	First Nations	Inuit	Métis
In what part of Canada do they live?	·	·	·
How did they find food in the past?	·	·	·
How did they make clothing in the past?	·	·	·
What other facts do you know?	·	·	·

You will find a copy of this document in your files. Please open this document and ‘save as’ “Aboriginal Peoples” + your name e.g. “Aboriginal Peoples Mrs. French”.

You will have two to three days to complete this assignment.

I look forward to you sharing your information.

Love, Mrs. French
