Harbourfront Centre is committed to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action. To this end, we continue to provide various educational opportunities to support you and your students in building connections to the cultural and artistic expression of First Nations, Métis and Inuit cultures.

Students will explore different forms of governance and what that means in the history of treaty-making between Indigenous and settler groups in the Great Lakes region. Students will have discussions surrounding land rights and make a personal commitment to reconciliation through the creation of a visual art piece. 

This program will be co-facilitated by Indigenous and non-Indigenous Educators and is suitable both as introductory content and for those with more extensive knowledge. 

• Understand various methods of governance, peacekeeping and negotiation that First Nations communities used between each other and with settlers.
• Identify meaning, purpose and relevance of treaties in contemporary times for Indigenous and non-Indigenous relations and communities.
• Use appropriate terminology for FNMI (First Nations, Métis, Inuit) groups.
