Notes on Translation
The electronic translation service on the York Region District School Board's website is hosted by Google Translate. The quality of the translation will vary in some of the languages offered by Google. Google Translate is a free service and currently offers translation in over 50 languages, although an impressive number, this does not capture all languages or dialects. The basic translation’s goal is to capture the general intention of the original English material.
The York Region District School Board does not guarantee the quality, accuracy or completeness of any translated information. Before you act on translated information, the Board encourages you to confirm any facts that are important to you and affect any decisions you may make.
The York Region District School Board is committed to parent, family and community engagement, and it is our hope that by providing this tool on our website that we are making our information more accessible to families whose first language is not English and thereby enabling better engagement in public education.

Indigenous and Environmental Studies -
Indigenous Peoples in Canada |
NAC2O1 |
| This course is centred upon the Aboriginal notion of Living for the Seventh Generation and examines the evolving relationship between Aboriginal peoples and non-Aboriginal peoples in Canada. Students will use the Seven Grandfather teachings to examine the geographic, historic and contemporary issues that impact upon this relationship. The methods of geographic and historic inquiry, a process of asking relevant questions to guide research, and locating and assembling data for the purpose of constructing interpretations, and drawing conclusions, are an important focus in this course. Indeed, these skills allow students to investigate the varied notions of nationhood held by Aboriginal peoples through the exploration of Aboriginal storytelling, art, dance, music, food, film, economics, politics/law and culture. Due to the interactive and multidimensional nature of this course, students are expected to listen attentively to guest speakers and participate fully in field trips. Knowing that we all walk upon the faces of the unborn, how will you choose to walk? |
