The Impact of the Indian Act (Canada)
Canada's Indian Act has been in effect since 1876 - that's 147 years. The world has changed several times over since then (Archduke Franz Ferdinand was just a lad in 1876), and yet the gender-based inequality provisions of this Act, dating back to 1869, were only corrected by new legislation 150 years later (2019), and only then after a Quebec Superior Court decision. Clearly, the Indian Act has negatively impacted the lives of several generations of First Nations peoples, including those who we

'If' Day - The Day the Nazis Invaded Winnipeg
I was absolutely gobsmacked when I happened across information about this elaborate hoax, staged on Feb. 19, 1942 as both an encouragement to buy Victory bonds to support the war effort and as a graphic hypothetical foretelling of events if the Allies didn't defeat the Axis powers. It was never covered in any Canadian history course I took, nor did my parents, who were teens during the war, ever mention it. This product takes a fairly detailed look at the event before asking your students to inv

Canada's 'Sixties Scoop'
Your students will enter the larger story of the 'Sixties Scoop' through the experiences of Nakuset, who was taken from her home in Thompson, Manitoba at the age of three and adopted by a wealthy Jewish family in Montreal. As a young woman, Nakuset leaves home and, with the help of her adoptive father's mother, traces her birth family, is reunited with them and reclaims her heritage. (If this sounds familiar, it's likely because you've seen the APTN limited series 'Little Bird', for which Indige

Canada's Involvement in the League of Nations
If the League of Nations is mentioned at all in Canadian social studies classes, it likely gets nothing more than a cursory mention during a run-up to a study of World War II. This product delves into the League's history, from its inception in American president Woodrow Wilson's imagination as an international body that would peacefully resolve disputes between nations in order to avoid another 'war to end all wars' to its eventual collapse. Most historians give short shrift to the League, poin

Canada's Involvement in the United Nations
The United Nations, with 193 members, is the world's largest international organization; born out of learning from the mistakes of the post-World War I League of Nations, some see it as also the world's last best chance to avoid another world war. But the UN does much, much more than that, in terms of extending a helping hand around the world to those who need it the most.
