Activity Overview


When learning about the Métis people, students may also be learning about the various cultural regions of North America. In this activity, students will color and label the map according to the regions listed in the key. They should then research where First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people live all across North America. Then, they will list the names of as many groups of people as they can in the correct region. There are over a thousand different names, so it will not be possible to do them all! Teachers may choose how many First Nations they would like students to include. A sample map is provided.
