Description: First Nation, Métis & Inuit Studies, Part 1 is designed using the Aboriginal Holistic Education Framework to provide candidates with the opportunity to learn about First Nation, Métis and Inuit studies and with First Nation, Métis & Inuit people in order to provide an authentic and rich learning opportunity in which candidates can better inform their teaching practice.
