  2. Outcomes • I1. Students will be expected to demonstrate an understanding of who the Mi’kmaq people are, including their connections to the traditional lands called Mi’kma’ki.

  3. Thinking about the Maritimes… • The Mi’Kmaw divided their territory into 7 districts. • In groups of 4 use an atlas to divide the maritimes into 7 districts. The districts do not have to be equal but the divisions should be easily remembered.

  13. The Seven Districts

  14. Points to Remember • Messages had to get from one end of the territory to the other • The boundaries were not written in stone – the geography marked the difference in territory • Travel from one district to another was done with respect and consideration of the impact of their travel on the people and the wildlife because resources were accounted for and were scarce • Each district had its own council and organization

  15. Formative Assessment
