Experiences Canada
Experiences Canada funds youth exchanges across Canada. Almost half of our exchanges are bilingual exchanges and the other half are thematic. Some of the learning themes are history and heritage, environment, geography, Indigenous cultures, music and sports. Mapping the Way
Mapping the Way is public education initiative aimed at raising awareness and understanding of the Yukon Final and Self-Government Agreements. The initiative is a partnership between the 11 Self-Governing Yukon First Nations, the Council of Yukon First Nations, and the governments of Yukon and Canada. Mapping the Way has a number of resources (videos, stories, podcasts, timelines on history of land claims negotiation, etc) that can be used in classrooms and would be a helpful additional to any lesson plans on First Nation governance or Yukon history.
