Welcome
mi čxʷkʷətxʷiləm - (meach-quat-wheelum) This means “welcome” or “come in" in the Halq'eméylem language.
Welcome! We acknowledge that our district is on the shared, unceded, traditional territory of the Katzie, Semiahmoo and Kwantlen Nations.
The purpose of this website is to help teachers embed First Peoples content and perspectives into the curriculum. It includes links, some lesson plans and information about authentic First Peoples resources. Please do not view it as an exhaustive list of resources but rather a starting point for teachers who are looking to infuse First Peoples content into all areas of the curriculum.
To incorporate First Peoples content, context and history into the curriculum, it is necessary to have an understanding or foundation of knowledge relating to First Peoples Peoples. Go to the Introduction Tab for some introductory information.
