About the Program
This program will teach the ways of life among the Blackfoot confederacy, the voyageurs, and the Métis of Western Canada. Covering the lifestyles of these diverse groups, we discuss what the population of Alberta once looked like, how it changed, and what prompted those changes. The students will also learn about the relationship each of these groups had with the land. This will be done through a combination of stories, artifact demonstrations, and activities.
