History and Geography
In this activity students will explore the life and legacy of Charles Byce by analyzing a commemorative statue unveiled in his honour. Students will participate in a See, Wonder, Connect thinking routine to reflect on how the statue relates to their prior knowledge, personal experiences, or understanding of Indigenous history and recognition.
In this activity students will design a medal that symbolizes the courage, resilience, and contributions of Indigenous veterans, using symbolism (e.g., colours, shapes, and images) to represent historical and contemporary actions taken by Indigenous individuals and communities to improve their lives. Students will justify their design choices by drawing on specific examples from both the past (1890–1914) and present, demonstrating their understanding of how these actions reflect ongoing efforts toward recognition, service, and advocacy.
