Generalization
People in a community contribute to change. Aboriginal People adapted to changes in society and worked to evolve and empower their communities.
Rationale
There are many successful and influential Aboriginal
People who are empowering role models for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal
youth. These individuals demonstrate that many of the stereotypes generated
and perpetuated by the media and government are false and misleading.
Students have the opportunity to explore a variety of Aboriginal role
models and heroes, and to discover how many Aboriginal leaders struggled
to provide for their communities in the face of significant cultural
and social change.
