CHIPPEWAS OF RAMA FIRST NATION—The Ogemawahj Tribal Council recently updated a series of books featuring governance, language, culture, community activities, history and the land in each of the member First Nations.
“We’ve been doing some work with our communities and our school boards updating a curriculum resource that was created in 2002,” says Greer Atkinson, education program/project coordinator with Ogemawahj Tribal Council. “So we did a project this year to update them and take them from 30 pages to 70 pages.”
Atkinson says the books were created in partnership with Nelson Canada. Each community helped with the project by providing updated information and images for the new books.
“The booklets give students an opportunity to look at how the First Nation communities right beside them are the same and yet different,” Atkinson says. “Some things run through each book, for instance our First Nations tend to acknowledge veterans more often than is done generally in Canada, we hear veteran songs at Pow Wows each summer and stand to honour them. We also tend to use humour more often and differently than other Canadians.”
