Teacher Guidebook - suggested Métis books and lesson plans
Downloadable PDF

"Bringing Métis Children's Literature to Life" is a guidebook for teachers to support the children's literature published by Gabriel Dumont Institute (GDI). Not only will teachers be able to teach about the Métis but they will also utilize strategies that foster and promote literacy development (listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing, and representing).  Each story brings traditional and contemporary Métis culture to life. They honour the past and present. Métis children often see themselves in these publications. Non-Métis students will see and connect with the universal themes and relate them to their own lives while learning about Métis culture.
