Residentia
An Overview of Residen al Schools in Canada
(Elementary Version)
Grades 5-8 2015 CC 15 min McIntyre Media Inc.
First Na ons people have lived in this country for many
thousands of years. They were here long before anyone else.
In the 16th century, European explorers and missionaries
began making their way to Canada. Life would begin to
change dras cally for many aboriginal people. Disease, loss
of culture, loss of land, and unkept promises. As the Canadian
government looked for a way to expand westward, a series of
trea es set in mo on a system of residen al schools.
Educa on was a way to “assimilate” the children – to make
them behave and think more like the Europeans who were
taking over Canada.
Residen al schools had a las ng impact on First Na ons
individuals, families and communi es. The children who
returned home brought with them the various abuses they
experienced.
That h
has aff
i
d Th
ffected
d their
h i ffamilies
ili and communi es for genera ons. Children came home
lonely, depressed and scared. Many had died without ever seeing their parents again.
This program gives students an overview of the residen al school system in Canada. Combining archival
footage with residen al school survivor interviews, students will learn why and how the schools
were established, the effect of trea es on aboriginal life, the impact of residen al schools on future
genera ons, what life was like for children in these schools, and an apprecia on of aboriginal culture and
history.

Residen al Schools: Truth and Reconcilia on in Canada
(Secondary Version)
Grades 9-Post-Sec 2015 CC 18 min McIntyre Media Inc.
Indian Residen al Schools are a part of our shared history in
Canada. Prior to European contact, First Na ons people had
their own educa on system, governing system, beliefs and
customs. While some posi ve alliances were established, the
arrival of missionaries and others kicked off a systema c a ack
on the tradi onal customs and culture of na ve communi es.
In 1883, as a result of treaty nego a ons and government
proclama ons, Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald
authorized the crea on of three “industrial schools.” Thus
began the misguided a empt “to kill the Indian in the child.”
Between 1879 and 1986, at least 150,000 aboriginal children
in Canada - almost a third of aboriginal children - were forcibly
removed and placed into Indian Residen al Schools. The
assault on Aboriginal iden ty began the moment children
took their first step across the school’s threshold. Their unique
culture was stripped away to be replaced with a foreign European iden ty. Their family es were cut,
clothes replaced, and children were prevented from returning home.
The telling of Canada’s history is not complete without this story. Some refer to it as a “cultural genocide.”
Genera ons upon genera ons of aboriginal people have been affected by the abuse and horrors
experienced in these schools. The Truth and Reconcilia on Summary that was undertaken as an element
of the Indian Residen al Schools Se lement Agreement outlines 94 recommenda ons for achieving a full
reconcilia on between Canada’s na ve and non-na ve peoples.

Social Studies
An Introduc on to First Na ons Culture
& Tradi ons
Before early European se lers arrived in what is Canada today, there
were already many Aboriginal peoples living here. They lived right
across this country and developed a rich and storied existence relying
on the land and nature for food, shelter and clothing. Canada’s First
Peoples developed complex cultures and lived in harmony with their
environment. Each cultural group was made up of several na ons
with similari es in language and social structure. Each group also had
their own stories, ceremonies and interpreta ons of the world around
them.
In An Introduc on to First Na ons: Culture & Tradi ons, students are
provided with a broad overview of First Na ons life and culture. Your
host, Cedar Smoke introduces students to some important aspects
of First Na ons life – regalia and dance, food, drumming, powwows,
and the importance of the environment. Elders share their wisdom
regarding cultural prac ces, laws and tradi onal values. A must have
for elementary social studies and art classes.

The Libera on of Auschwitz
Grades 9-Adult 2015 CC 11 min McIntyre Media Inc.
On January 27, 1945, Auschwitz was liberated by Soviet soldiers.
Auschwitz was a network of concentra on camps built and
operated in occupied Poland by Nazi Germany during the Second
World War. Auschwitz I and nearby Auschwitz II-Birkenau were the
extermina on camps where an es mated 1.1 million people—mostly
Jews from across Europe, but also poli cal opponents, prisoners of
war, homosexuals, and Roma—were killed in gas chambers or by
systema c starva on, forced labor, disease, or medical experiments.
Combining historic footage and interviews with Auschwitz survivors,
this Canadian produc on examines the events that led to the crea on
of extermina on camps across Europe. Survivors speak of the horrors
they endured and the need for the modern-day world to prevent
similar events from re-occurring.
This program contains graphic footage which may not be suitable for
all viewers.

Malala: The Power of One Voice
An assassina on a empt was not enough to curtail the human-rights
work of teenage ac vist Malala Yousafzai. “One child, one teacher,
one book and one pen can change the world,” she told the United
Na ons in a s rring speech.
Around the world an es mated 66 million girls are being denied the
right to an educa on. Girls make up more than 54% of the nonschooled popula on in the world. Recent global es mates indicate
that more than 100 million girls are involved in child labour. Fix that,
scholars have long said, and you could change the course of human
history. Educated girls are safer from sexual assault and childhood
marriage. They go on to raise more educated children themselves.
This is what Malala is trying to change. Educa on is a basic human
right. This wonderfully inspiring Canadian produc on can be used for
discussions on human rights, gender/women’s rights, ac vism and
poli cs, comparison of educa on in the Middle East and Canada, the
importance of educa on and examining the barriers that keep girls
out of school.

been at least seven dinosaurs named in his honour; but
he’s so modest, he’s not quite sure of the precise number.
Currie’s research has led him to dig in sites around the

Say No to Nega ve Peer Pressure
Grades 3-5 2015 CC 29 min Human Rela ons Media
This three-part series shows young students how and when to say, “No!” Viewers follow along with three narra ve
scenarios as the protagonist decides what to do and how he/she will resolve the problem by saying “No.” These trueto-life scenarios pertain to peer pressure, sibling trouble, and bullying. Hosts introduce each sec on and emphasize key
informa on. A er watching, students will be able to demonstrate various ways to say “no” in any appropriate scenario.
PART 1: When To Say No
In this introductory sec on, viewers learn the key phrase: If someone asks you to do something that makes you feel
uncomfortable or unsafe, you can say “No.” This phrase is demonstrated through three drama c scenarios that play
out through each part of the program. First, students meet Derek who catches his sister drinking in the garage with her
friend. Next, viewers meet Miguel whose friends try to coerce into doing a skateboard trick he isn’t comfortable with;
and lastly viewers meet Ariella who struggles with being a bully bystander. The program ends with hosts recapping the
stories and se ng up what viewers will see next in Part 2.
PART 2: How To Say No
In part two, viewers learn how the protagonists will say “no” in each scenario. Viewers also recognize the reasons why
it can be difficult to say no. Rejec on is when you’re worried someone will stop being your friend, reasoning is when
the person tries to convince you otherwise by giving excuses, bullying is when someone picks on you either physically or
verbally. Hosts demonstrate how young people can say “no” firmly and asser vely and by making “I” statements. Then,
viewers see the characters use these tac cs in the scenarios.
PART 3: A er You Say No
In this final sec on, viewers learn what to do a er you say no. In Miguel’s story, Miguel suggested another trick that he
felt comfortable trying in front of his friends. Similarly, Ariella made a sugges on to include everyone in the game of 4
square. Even when her suggest was rebuffed, Ariella stuck to her ins nct and walked away. Lastly, Derek followed through
with saying “no” to his sister by talking with an adult about the drinking. Telling an adult is an important part of saying no,
because adults can o en help. Hosts recap all of the key phrases, vocabulary and sum up the program for students, who
are now well-equipped to say “no” and mean it!

Metabolizing
edible marijuana produces a different response than
