History Culture GamesInteractive and hands-on, our approach to teaching is indigenous in its foundation. While learning about Lacrosse and other Traditional Games of the Six Nations of the Grand River, students will simultaneously be learning about and experiencing local First Nations culture. Based on the understanding that everything is interconnected our programming is interdisciplinary by nature, weaving Native Studies with Health & Physical Education, History, Geography, Social Studies & Outdoor Education.
We offer programming for all ages, youth to adult, Elementary, Secondary and Post-Secondary school students all year long. We can also set up a booth at Festivals and other events where people can try their hand at the different games and learn about the history and cultural significance behind the games. |
