NATIVE STUDIES, GRADES 9 AND 10 (1999) AND<br />
GRADES 11 AND <strong>12</strong> (2000)<br />
See the Preface for important information on the organization of the following material.<br />
First Nation, Métis, and Inuit cultures in Canada, along with Indigenous cultures around the<br />
world, are characterized by a profound relationship with the natural environment, which informs<br />
various aspects of the lives of contemporary Aboriginal peoples. <strong>The</strong> Native studies curriculum<br />
explores this relationship and its implications from social, economic, political, and artistic<br />
perspectives. <strong>The</strong> expectations that address environmental topics and issues directly, along with<br />
those that provi<strong>de</strong> opportunities for making environmental connections, are i<strong>de</strong>ntified below.<br />
