Curriculum Development
The Treaty 8 Centennial Curriculum began as a vision with a group of Treaty 8 Elders, leaders and educators, who wished to commemorate the signing of Treaty No. 8 on June 21, 1899. It is appropriate that this effort has begun at the Social Studies elementary level, which is oriented towards people, history and culture. These materials are developed in conjunction with Treaty 8 teachers and First Nation
Directors of Education.
