Lesson 1B - Generalization and Rationale

Generalization

Students will develop an understanding of how federal government policies affected the socialization process of traditional Aboriginal education.

Rationale

Prior to contact, Aboriginal People educated their children in a variety of ways that stemmed from a holistic framework. Contact and the onset of Catholic and Protestant missionaries, combined with federal government initiatives, forever altered the process of Aboriginal education. It is  imperative for students seeking to understand Aboriginal cultures to examine this sector the socialization process and how it impacted cultural identity.
