How Did Colonization Impact Indigenous Groups?
BIG IDEA:
Differences in power alter the balance of relationships between individuals and between societies.
I CAN SHOW AN UNDERSTANDING OF:
•The continuing effects of imperialism and colonialism on indigenous peoples
•Discriminatory policies toward First Peoples, such as the Indian Act, potlatch ban and residential school

In this project, you and your group will explore a topic related to the Big Idea above. You and your group will present a visual representation of the topic and be able to explain the significance of your topic to the class and how it relates to the Big Idea.
You will be given time in the library to research your topic and create your visual. As a class, your projects will reflect a timeline of Indigenous history from the point of European colonization to present day challenges and celebrations.
