In the primary years, we are establishing caring attitudes about our classroom community, as well as the community in which we live. What children learn now about creating healthy communities will help to establish the foundation for critical thinking and lifelong learning. We are establishing a positive orientation towards school; therefore, it is important to teach children to think beyond the immediate goals. It is intended that students will think of themselves as historians, writers, artists, community builders, and caretakers of the environment. Over the course of three weeks, students will respond to inquiry questions that are intended to foster connectedness, community, and a sense of place. Students will explore community from the perspectives of both settlers and First Peoples; begin to recognize that relationships are reciprocal; and appreciate that the past is connected to the present. The unit is inspired by the First Peoples Principle that learning is holistic, reflexive, reflective, experiential, and relational (focused on connectedness, on reciprocal relationships, and a sense of place). The core competencies that will be supported in this unit are Communication through acquiring, interpreting, and presenting ideas, and Positive Personal and Cultural Identity through relationships and cultural contexts. The core competencies will be supported by the Big Ideas that people and the local environment have a reciprocal relationship, communities respect the interconnectedness of the local environment in order to be healthy, and memory and story connect us to our community. Throughout the unit, students will begin to realize the importance of the local environment to the culture and the people of the area. One important facet of understanding the local community is to truly appreciate that the Sto:lo people have lived in the area for millennia. Students will understand why we acknowledge the traditional unceded territory of the Kwantlen, Katzie, Matsqui, and Semiahmoo people at assemblies and gatherings. We will come to an understanding of connectedness by asking questions such as: How does the place in which I live affect who I am? What is my impact on the place in which I live? In what ways can I learn about the local community and the environment in which we exist? How can I use stories, memories, and photographs to understand my community’s past and present? How can I use stories to make connections to a sense of place? These essential questions will help us make new connections with our community and environment. The unit will begin on Hundreds Day as we brainstorm 100 Things That We Love about Langley. We will continue to build our understanding of the past through the use of story, from both the settler and Aboriginal perspectives. We will inquire what it might have been like to be a pioneer, and learn about some local pioneers. We will take advantage of story and discussion time, and learn about local plants and animals of the Fraser River. Students will take home a list of interview questions for an adult in their lives; students will be encouraged to interview multiple generations in order to get a different perspective on our connection to the past. We will study pictures of the community from the past and the present, make inferences, and reinforce sequencing skills. For the summative assessment task, we will build on the knowledge that we have gained, and utilize higher order thinking skills in order to compose a poem that reflects our connection to place, as well as devise a rubric for self-assessment. Students will be building skills and understandings that they can transfer to other academic areas and areas of their lives. 4 Desired Learning Intentions Core Competencies/Transferable Knowledge and Skills The Core Competencies that will be supported throughout this unit are: Communication – Acquire, Interpret, and Present* Positive Personal and Cultural Identity – Relationships and Cultural Contexts* The Core Competencies will be supported throughout the unit by encouraging students to acquire, interpret, and present ideas regarding relationships that positively contribute to the community, while being respectful of cultural contexts. Throughout the unit, students will reflect on their learning and make their own inquiries as they learn foundational skills in the area of Social Studies that they can transfer and use in other areas of the curriculum. Student Friendly: I can make connections with the place in which I live. I can write an acrostic poem about my community. Students will achieve the Core Competencies of Communication (acquire, interpret, and present*) and Positive Personal and Cultural Identity (relationships and cultural contexts*) through a logical progression from lower order to higher order thinking skills. Students will begin to understand that there are different ways of knowing, as they learn Social Studies skills such as cause and consequence, inquiry processes, effective questions, sequencing, and the significance of events. Students will develop their higher-order thinking skills as they synthesize the knowledge and skills they have acquired in order to compose an acrostic poem, artwork, and self-assessment rubric that evokes their sense of connectedness, community, and sense of place. Students will self-assess the Core Competencies by: Core Competency Assessment (AS) Frequency and Times I can make connections Teacher will evaluate (FOR) at the beginning. Students will evaluate with the place in which I their connection (AS) in the middle through discussion. Students will live. evaluate their connections (AS) at the end using a rubric. I can write an acrostic poem Students will self-evaluate (AS) at the end of the unit in the summative about my community. task project when students complete a rubric after writing one acrostic poem. Big Ideas The Big Ideas that are supported in this unit are: We shape the local environment, and the local environment shapes who we are and how we live. * Healthy communities recognize and respect the interconnectedness of the people, the animals, and the land in order to care about the local environment. Memory and story connect us to a sense of place: to the past, to the present, and to our community. (FPPL) First Peoples Principles of Learning The guiding values expressed in this unit by the First Peoples Principles of Learning are: Learning is holistic, reflexive, reflective, experiential, and relational (focused on connectedness, on reciprocal relationships, and a sense of place). Learning recognizes the role of Indigenous knowledge. Learning is embedded in memory, history, and story. *Denotes a direct quotation from the BC Curriculum 5 Desired Learning Intentions Continued Meaning Acquisition of Learning Standards Enduring Understandings Essential Curriculum Content: Students will understand Questions Competencies Students will know how that… Students will keep Students will be able to… considering… to… EU1: EQ1: -Recognize causes and K1: Recognize that There is a reciprocal How does the place consequences of when the pioneers relationship between the in which I live affect events, decisions, or came, the Indigenous local environment and the who I am? developments in their people had lived here people who live here. lives (cause and for thousands of years.

Abstract Zooarchaeological data reported from twenty-two Developed Coast Salish horizon (1500 years before present to European contact) sites in the southern Strait of Georgia region were compared with subsistence information from regional ethnographies in an attempt to discover whether the ethnographic record is an accurate portrayal of 1ate prehistoric subsistence. Additional data coll ected during the 1984 and 1985 excavations from DeRt 1 on Pender Island, British Columbia were included in the comparisons. Cluster analyses of the zooarchaeological data showed that sites excavated in a similar manner tended to fall in the same cluster, indicating that archaeological methods were strongly i nfl uenci ng perceptions of regional subsistence patterns. Mammal assembl ages were dominated by ungulates and canids. The dominance of wapiti on main1 and sites contradicts the ethnographic record, which stated that wapiti were a staple only on Vancouver Island. Sea mammals were a minor component of the mammal assemblages. Not surprisingly, waterfowl were the most commonly identified birds recovered from the sites. As predicted from the ethnographic record, salmonids figured prominently, and were identified in all Strait of Georgia sites.

    Photo of Gatewood School students on last day of school, Seattle, June 17, 1949. Courtesy Museum of History & Industry. HistoryLink.org Supplement for Washington: A State of Contrasts 1 Washington: A State of Contrasts has been identified as the most commonly used Washington state History textbook for 7th and 8th grades for the 2011-12 school year. Using this textbook as a base for identifying the specific themes and topics that are being covered in required Pacific Northwest History middle school classes, the Education Team at HistoryLink.org has created this supplement for teacher and students. This supplement was developed as a tool to assist in identifying HistoryLink.org essays that can be used to study and research the state history themes and topic in more depth. The name of each relevant essay is listed as well as the abstract, number, and link to the full essay. This supplement also aids HistoryLink.org in identifying general or specific topics for which more essays are needed or would be helpful in the Washington state History classroom. In addition, as a part of this exercise, HistoryLink.org staff assigned appropriate key words to selected essays to match those used in this textbook. A set of HistoryLink Elementary essays was added to the HistoryLink encyclopedia in 2014. (http://www.historylink.org/Index.cfm?DisplayPage=education/elementary- educators.cfm.) These essays were written for beginning readers who are studying Washington state history or anyone who wants to learn more about Washington. They may be helpful for some of your students. All HistoryLink Elementary essays are based on existing HistoryLink essays.

Community members explained that the Hinton area is culturally important and presently used by Aseniwuche Winewak Nation community members, whereas the Valemount area is also culturally important, but not currently used. Community members did not expect to find sacred sites during ground reconnaissance due to extensive industrial development in Hinton and surrounding areas (Aseniwuche Environmental Corporation 2013). Aseniwuche Winewak Nation requested notification if culturally relevant sites are found during Project construction and that the sites are protected by a 100 m buffer. 5.2 Hargreaves to Darfield Segment The results of TLU studies conducted to date have identified TLU sites potentially affected by the Hargreaves to Darfield segment and associated Project components requiring mitigation. 5.2.1 Lheidli T’enneh Lheidli T’enneh elected to conduct a third-party TLU study for the Project.
