June 21 - National Aboriginal Day
Celebrate with the nation by watching Reel Injun with your students. Cree filmmaker Neil Diamond takes an entertaining and insightful look at the Hollywood Indian, exploring the portrayal of Aboriginal peoples throughout a century of cinema. Reel Injun is suitable for classroom use in secondary and post-secondary education, in courses such as film studies, social studies, media and communications, ethics and history. The accompanying teacher's guide contains discussion topics and questions grouped into key topic areas, chapters and themes, giving educators the flexibility to present excerpts from Reel Injun or the entire movie.National Aboriginal Day
