Symbolism and Traditions 1
In most Indigenous languages, there is no word for “art” because art is regarded as a “way of being” in the Indigenous worldview. Music, dance, drama and visual arts are some of the ways to connect with and engage First Nation, Métis and Inuit students. The digital resource Walking Together: First Nations, Métis and Inuit Perspectives in Curriculum from Alberta Education provides excellent examples of practicing teachers who are using art to include First Nation, Métis and Inuit perspectives and aspects of culture into their classrooms. For a sample from this resource, watch the video Infusion Through Art to see how students and teachers explore culture and identity through various art forms. This video is located in the Observing Practice section of the Symbolism and Traditions topic area.
