Cultural Teachings in the Classroom
Date: March 30, 2011
Time: 4:30 to 6:30
Cost per Participant: $4 for members / $6 for non-members
First Nations cultures and traditions are diverse in Saskatchewan. Understanding and informing the "new" teacher is as important as learning any other culture in the world. The Saskatchewan Indian Cultural Center released a book in 2009 called “Cultural Teachings: First Nations Protocols and Methodologies”. This book provides a guide to appropriate traditional etiquette for individuals attending ceremonial activities of First Nations people in Saskatchewan. It will also answer general questions about the appropriate dress for attending ceremonies for men and women, appropriate dress for attending sweatlodge ceremonies and what is expected for each person who attends feasts. Cultural Teachings speaks to how culture impacts the different communities and how recognizing and respecting these differences can play a role in the teaching of a First Nations child.
The following events are scheduled for February. Each event has a minimum participant number, so if you are interested please sign up as soon as possible so the event does not have to be cancelled. Thank you. For more information on events look to the Professional Development board next to the student lounge or ask at the ESS office, room 1009.
