  • Squamish Community: Our People and Places Teacher’S Package
    North Vancouver MUSEUM & ARCHIVES SCHOOL PROGRAMS 2018/19 Squamish Community: Our People and Places Teacher’s Package Grade 3 - 5 [SQUAMISH COMMUNITY: OUR PEOPLE AND PLACES KIT] Introduction SQUAMISH COMMUNITY: OUR PEOPLE AND PLACES KIT features 12 archival photographs selected from the Skwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw: The Squamish Community: Our People and Places exhibit presented at the North Vancouver Museum & Archives in 2010. This exhibit was a collaborative project undertaken by the North Vancouver Museum & Archives and the Squamish Nation. These archival images were selected by the Squamish Elders and Language Authority to represent local landscapes, the community and the individual people within the Squamish Nation. The Squamish Elders and Language Authority also contributed to the exhibit labels which are included on the reverse of each picture. This Kit has been designed to complement BC’s Social Studies curriculum for grades 3 - 5, giving students the opportunity to explore themes related to First Nations cultures in the past and cultural First Nations activities today. Included within this Kit is a detailed teacher’s package that provides instructors with lesson plan activities that guide students in the analysis of archival photographs. The recommended activities encourage skills such as critical thinking and cooperative learning. Altogether, the lesson plan activities are estimated to take 1 hour and 45 minutes and can easily be stretched across several instructional days. Through photo analysis worksheets and activities, students will be introduced to the Squamish Nation and historical photographs. Teachers are encouraged to read through the program and adapt it to meet the learning abilities and individual needs of their students.
