Native Land Digital Teacher's Guide 2025
Welcome to the Native Land Digital Teacher’s Guide! This resource is designed to support educators in using Native-Land.ca as a starting point for learning about Indigenous territories, languages, treaties, and, most importantly, the relationships Indigenous peoples have with Land & Waters.
Our goal is to move beyond static land acknowledgments and towards active engagement with Indigenous histories, governance systems, and ways of knowing. This guide will help you facilitate meaningful conversations, encourage critical thinking, and provide hands-on activities that connect students to the Land & Waters around them.
The focus of this project was to create a document that would be legible and accessible to students and teachers of all ages.
The visual language needed to reference natural phenomena such as awa (rivers) and maunga (mountains), while avoiding region-specific imagery. This approach ensured the design would feel relevant and respectful to Indigenous nations around the world.
