On Friday mornings we are lucky to have Ms. Sandi come in and teach us about Aboriginal Culture. Our first activity has been working on an Aboriginal Animal story that follows the favourite book Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See? Our book starts with Totem Pole, Totem Pole What Do You See?
Some interesting local Aboriginal information we learned:
In B.C. we call:
-a community a clan
-Aboriginals => First Nations
-Totems => Story Poles
-Story Poles and canoes are made out of Cedar as it considered soft wood
Friday we also got to have our chance to participate in carving our Yennadon Story Pole:
