Indigenous Studies: 7 Gifts

The 7 Gifts, also known as the 7 Grandfather Teachings, are foundational to understanding life and human conduct. Throughout life, we acquire these gifts through our increased experience and understanding of our world.  

Join us in exploring these gifts using Indigenous worldviews to explain their importance in everyday life. Students will complete a visual arts piece connected to their understanding of the 7 Gifts.
