Cindy Blackstock  | TRIAL
Description:
Peter Mansbridge’s interview in this segment of The National, highlights the story and perspectives of Cindy Blackstock, a leading First Nations’ advocate. As a child, Blackstock noticed the injustices and racism that were faced by her First Nations community and wondered why these issues were not being addressed. As an adult, Blackstock challenges the “racist fiscal policies” that exist in the government today. She questions the inequalities that she believes contribute to contemporary problems that exist in the child welfare, health, and education systems on reserves and asks all Canadians to do the same. This resource highlights social and economic inequalities, discrimination, and the government’s failure to address these issues. As they engage with this resource, viewers are prompted to question their own biases, think critically about the role of the government, and consider ways through which the problem of inequality might be solved. This resource addresses issues in the high school social studies curriculum. Teacher Notes: This resource points to the government as the source of many problems in First Nations communities. To provide a balanced perspective, teachers may wish to provide supplementary resources that speak to actions that the government has taken in response to these concerns. Cindy Blackstock makes comments about systemic racism that may be unsettling to some; however, these comments provide great opportunity for discussion and debate in the classroom. Teachers are encouraged to preview this resource and prepare for in-depth discussions about the issues addressed.

Clouds of Autumn  | TRIAL
Description:
In this 15-minute file set in the 1970s, a brother and sister’s bond is broken when the sister is taken to a residential school. Through the perspective of those left behind, the filmmaker illustrates the heartbreaking loss of relationships with family, culture, and the land that resulted from the residential school system in Canada. The film is filled with images of people and the land, highlighting the interconnected nature of all things. When the sister returns from the residential school, however, the camera points to images of fragmentation and alienation, showing the broken relationships that came from the forced removal of children from their homes. As they engage with this film, viewers will come to see a perspective on residential schools that is not often shown: the effects on those left behind. This film addresses outcomes in the grades 7 to 12 social studies curriculum and provides opportunities to explore outcomes related to visual literacy and narrative structure in the grades 7 to 12 English language arts curriculum. Teacher Notes: As the film plays, a Christian hymn plays in the background, underscoring the role of the church in the devastation of family life and cultural ways of First Nations people. The film does not show images of the school that the girl is taken to, nor are there descriptions of what occurred there. Teachers are encouraged to provide background information about residential schools, prior to using the video in class. Alternatively, teachers may wish to use this video to supplement deeper study and discussion of the residential school system.

Fractured Land  | TRIAL
Description:
As an Indigenous leader and lawyer, Caleb Behn shares his plight to protect land and water rights in northern British Columbia within the troubling reality that the industry that threatens the region also offers jobs providing a good living and better educational opportunities.

The film follows current fracking in both British Columbia and New Zealand. Fractured Land addresses many learning outcomes in grades 7 to 12 social studies and science.

Gods Acre  | TRIAL
Description:
As water continues to rise on the traditional Cree lands of his ancestors, Frank struggles to come to terms with the impending loss of his home in this film. Confronted with pressure from the RCMP, world views clash as Frank is forced to decide whether to abandon his land and his traditional way of life. Gods Acre explores the effect of climate change on all who live on the land. The film highlights the relationships between animals, people, and the land on which they live, and speaks to intimate connection between the land and identity. Viewers will come to understand that place is more than location, but part of who the Cree are. Addressing outcomes in the social studies curriculum, the science curriculum, and the English language arts curriculum, Frank’s story provides students and teachers alike the opportunity to explore questions about climate change, identity, and culture. Teacher Notes: This resource examines differing belief systems and world views; it points to “modern ways” as being the source of many problems, including global warming. Teachers may wish to provide background information on climate change to support students’ understanding of this issue. Sacred rituals and ceremonies are explored; teachers may wish to familiarize themselves with the use of tobacco in ceremony. Teachers are encouraged to view the film prior to viewing to ensure that language and content are appropriate for their students and communities.
