  1. Worldview - FNMI

  2. Worldview -FNMI The (FNMI) worldview is holistic whereby all life forms are interconnected and life is considered sacred. Human beings are part of a sacred circle. Emotional, physical, mental and spiritual realms are recognized as part of the whole” ... “Traditional (FNMI) culture revolves around the connection to the land and the relationship with family and community” (ABED, 2010, (FNMI) Program of studies – p. 1)

  3. “There is a teaching passed down from our ancestors that crystallizes our sense of responsibility to the earth and other people that arises out of the tradition law. It is said that we are placed on the earth to be the caretakers of all that is here. We are instructed to treat the plants, animals, minerals, human beings and all life as our relatives, as if they were a part of ourselves. Since we are a part of Creation, we cannot differentiate or separate ourselves from the rest of the earth. The way in which we interact with the earth, how we utilize the plants, animals and the mineral gifts, should be carried out with the seventh generation in mind. We cannot simply think of ourselves and our survival; each generation has a responsibility to ensure the survival for the seventh generation from now.” Dwayne Trevor Donald Aboriginal Perspectives and the Curriculum (Social Studies) – Discussion Papers Developed by the Edmonton Regional Learning Consortium and ATEP Aboriginal eacherEducation Program, University of Alberta as a result of a grant to support implementation from Alberta Education http://erlc.ca/resources/resources/aboriginalperspectives/aboriginalperspectives3.php Edmonton Regional Learning Consortium – Focus Social Studies, FNMI
