Art First Nations: Tradition and Innovation

Resource package incorporates First Nations studies into Visual Arts programs. Two professional resource books clearly articulate program aims, program structure, maps, and units.

Modules include Seeing and Making sections that provide suggested objectives, vocabulary, motivation, questions for discussion, interpretation and judgment, cultural contexts information, and activity, assessment, and enrichment ideas.
