Stereotypes
A stereotype is a widely held but oversimplified idea of a
person or thing. Often these
oversimplifications are used to make quick judgements without investing any
time in understanding. Combining with
our tendency to confirm what we already believe, stereotypes become difficult
to dislodge.
Why do we create stereotypes?
How are they created?
What sources of learning do we draw from to form these stereotypes?
Why are stereotypes constraining?
What kind of inquiry or experience would be required to
overcome stereotypes?
Using your visual journal, in proper grade nine response
form, please reflect upon the following:
How does an accurate understanding of history contribute
to breaking down stereotypes?

History is written not just by the victors, but also
rewritten and retold by everyone. As a
result, history is often used as a way to affirm or remember ourselves in the
best possible light even if it isn’t true.
However, a glorified history prevents us from learning from the past.
Coming clean . . . What personal example do you have
about how you have “rewritten” history to suit your needs?
Why do we prefer history that affirms our identity?
What is the risk of having an inaccurate or narrow view
of history?

Episode Three- Sacred
Ground
Where do you come from? Where did your ancestors come from?
You are a guardian of your ancestral spirit; your job today is to research
about your ancestors and create a bundle. Your bundle should include wisdom and
pictures that you will record in your Visual Journal. Most importantly your bundle should contain a
story from your Ancestors. A story you are willing to share with the class. Your story should be about 1-2 minutes in
length at least.
Episode Three
The Grassland
Ecology
It’s easy to think of the prairie grassland as an empty
land devoid of life. Unfortunately, just as we stereotype people, we also stereotype
landscapes. Our first impressions are
not necessarily accurate ones. The ecology of the grasslands is rich and
diverse and could be studied for years on its own.
Ecology- the branch of biology that deals with the
relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings.
Journal Responses
1. What has surprised you about the grasslands?
2. How are the bison and grasslands interconnected?
3. Why is it important to understand ecology to
understand human beings?

Episode 4
Iiniistis is the Blackfoot word for treaty, an agreement. Treaties were made with not just people but
also land and the animals. The most
sacred of treaties were reinforced through ceremony and continued relationship.
What does the phrase “we are all treaty people” mean?

A Broken Treaty-Episode 5
Your spirit can not die if you feed it with . . .
Narcisse talks about the person, the human he is and wants
to become. He references all the mistakes and wonderful things he has done in
his life make him who he is. He talks about needing to learn and respect
himself so that he can respect others.
Make a list of your mistakes and wonderful things you have experienced. Choose one mistake or
wonderful thing and in proper grade nine response explain what you learned.

Episode 6-Living in the Present
We need many “Elders”.
We all have a gift within us that can make tomorrow a better
place. Knowing where you come from helps us understand who we are. Knowing
where we are headed gives us guidance.
Being present in this moment and acknowledging ourselves allows us to
share our values and beliefs. What are you going to teach us?
