Canada's Indigenous People Set of 12 Student Symbol Drawing (with descriptions)

Engage and educate students with this poster set of 12 that describes Canada's Indigenous Peoples. Each poster includes the name of an Indigenous group, the proper pronunciation of the group, a description of where they reside, and some facts about them.

In this activity, students will draw the symbol for each Indigenous group based on the description provided. Students may keep these or they can be hung around the classroom.

The following Indigenous groups are included:

• The Inuit
• The Haida
• The Cree
• The Mi'kmaq
• The Blackfoot
• The Mohawk
• The Ojibwe
• The Métis
• The Seneca
• The Oneida
• The Onondaga
• The Iroquois

Each description and symbol are relevant to the group. Some of the following symbols include The Inukshuk, Buffalo, Thunderbird, Raven, the Moon, Dreamcatcher, and Five Arrows.

***The 13th additional poster serves as a conversation starter that lists each Indigenous group, how to say "hello" in each language, and the sound pronunciation (some forms of "hello" are the same in several languages, so they are only listed once if this is the case).
