Ontario Grade 3 Social Studies
compare what life was like between 1780 and 1850 in a few First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities (e.g., they learned off the land; produced agriculture and fished, hunted, and/or harvested; practised their own languages, cultures, and ways of life; participated in economic trading with settler communities when possible; shared knowledge with settlers) with the ways in which later colonial policies, including the residential school system, changed life in these communities (e.g., removal of children: loss of culture and language, impacts of assimilation on identity, challenges to developing family relationships, the breakdown of community; communities: loss of land and freedom to make decisions about the use of Indigenous lands and territories; loss of sovereignty)
