Learning Goals
Understanding Indigenous ways of being, knowing, and doing. Not one homogeneous group: showcase the diversity of First Nations, Metis, and Inuit across what is Now Known as Canada. The interconnectedness of all living things, which includes the land, water, sky, and everything in creation. Ideas of interconnectedness as reflected in art, language and stories.
Contemporizing and making Indigenous knowledges and understandings an important part of everyone’s life.
Raise cultural awareness and break stereotypes, especially the “vanishing race” stereotype that was the foundation of Indigenous Ancestors, Artistic and Cultural Belongings held at ROM.
