Pedagogical Guide for the Nin Exhibition
This pedagogical guide is a unique entry point for teachers into the Anicinabek universe. It encourages educational actors to go a little further than what is proposed in the official school program and to explore the worldview of the Anicinabek, their history, their language, their relationship to the territory. It invites into a connection with them and calls for reflection on the future of the Anicinabemowin.

Gabriel-Commanda Educational Kit
The Val-d’Or Native Friendship Centre is proud to offer this Educational Kit designed for primary and secondary schools. This initiative is aimed at discovering First Peoples’ culture and was designed to raise awareness on racial discrimination. Students will be introduced to elements of culture, both ancestral and contemporary, that they may share with their friends and relatives. The learning activities proposed in the kit are play-based for the primary level and interactive for the secondary level. We encourage all teachers to adapt the activities to their specific situation. This document also puts in context the Week for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination held each year in March, and the Gabriel-Commanda Walk attended since 2001 by hundreds of people to promote peaceful and harmonious co-existence.
