Geography - Territory: Indigenous
Who are the Cree and the Ojibwa (a.k.a. Chippewa)? Have students retrace, on a map of Canada, the routes these communities used to hunt caribou, and, using different-coloured pencils, identify Cree and Ojibwa villages in Canada. Their hunting grounds were vast: imagine walking for days on end, in the cold, to hunt for food. Are these people still hunter-gatherers today? Might we become nomadic people as well?
