The Grade 4 Métis Cross Curricular Unit provides teachers and students with information and instruction on the Métis people and their culture. The objective of the Guide is to answer the question “Who Are the Métis?”, and to introduce the distinct characteristics of the culture, including food, clothing, language, technology, music and dance, traditional values, family and community. The students will have the opportunity to learn about the origins of the Métis culture and the significant contributions the Métis people have made in Canada historically and continue to make today. The unit will also illustrate the influence the Métis have in the cultural diversity of Aboriginal peoples and of Canada.
