A1. Exploring
Specific Expectations
A1.1
explore a variety of themes related to the knowledge, world views, and aspirations that shape the actions of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit individuals and communities (e.g., the role of Indigenous ecological knowledge, or IEK, in natural resource management; cultural protocols in the workplace; the role of Indigenous women and two-spirited people in contemporary communities; the purpose and processes of restorative justice; First Nations, Métis, and/or Inuit approaches to community financial/economic management) to identify topics for research and inquiry
A1.2
identify key concepts related to their selected topics (e.g., through listening, discussion, brain- storming, the use of visual organizers)
- What might you put at the centre of your Venn diagram of Inuit values?
- What are some key concepts in First Nations, Métis, and Inuit approaches to natural resource management?
A1.3
formulate effective questions to guide their research and inquiry
- What questions might guide your research if you were exploring how First Nations, Métis, or Inuit beliefs and values related to justice could be applied in a community setting such as a workplace or a volunteer organization?
- How might you change the questions you have developed to narrow the focus of your research?
- As you investigate economic management and development in different First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities, how might you use questions to structure your inquiry?
