Socials 10-2: Aboriginal Culture: the James Bay Cree

Today we began by outlining things we already know about First Nations culture. We created a T-chart to compare West Coast First Nations with those of the Plains. Next, we saw a short video that showed how the James Bay Cree of Mistassini tan a moose hide. I think you did well in your observations. We noted the mix of tradition and modern ways. We used the last half hour to complete our canoe/York boat paragraphs. Please get those in to me ASAP; I also asked that you read pp. 135 - 138 in the text for homework.
