Each month we SPOTLIGHT a new theme. This month’s SPOTLIGHT is Traditional Languages. This edition is honouring National Indigenous Languages Day – March 31st, and packed full of great language resources and activities that support First Nations, Metis and Inuit children, youth and their caregivers to enhance their knowledge, awareness and use of traditional languages. Learn how to say the numbers, colors, animal names and more! Now you will be able to greet someone in a traditional Indigenous language. Enjoy the variety of fun activities, language apps and games and mark your calendar for upcoming traditional gatherings. As well, find award deadlines, caregiver resources and so much more!
CONNECTIONS is packed full of learning opportunities that make it easy and fun for the whole family to learn together! Learn about Turtle Island, the Seven Sacred Teaching, what to expect at a Powwow and more!
In addition to foster/kinship caregivers, this monthly newsletter is a great resource for daycares, teachers, program coordinators and any and all children, youth and families wanting to learn more about Indigenous, Metis and Inuit Cultural Awareness!
If you are a supervisor or service provider supporting kinship/foster/group care, don’t forget to remind Foster and Kinship Caregivers that CONNECTIONS is here to assist them in their efforts to ensure Indigenous, Metis & Inuit children and youth continue to learn more about Indigenous traditions and culture while in care.
