History on Trial: Louis Riel and the 1885 North-West Rebellion

Abstract

The teacher’s guide provides a selection of individual lessons for teachers to use in the classroom. Each lesson includes learning objectives, focus questions, approximate timeframe, keywords, background information, suggested procedures, teacher resources, and supporting websites. We recognize that this document focuses on the events and action that took place in Canada during the 19th century. It contains lessons that illustrate discrete aspects of the history of Canada related to the role of the Métis and the uprisings in the North-West.
