Métis Nation of Ontario - The Giving Tree Kit - Story Bag Kit
Product Code:WGN5678
This education kit features the story “The Giving Tree” by Leah Dorion. This charming story, richly steeped in Métis culture, focuses on the boyhood reminisces of Moushoom as he describes finding the “great giving tree” with his mother and father. The “Giving Tree” was a place where Métis travellers could find valuable supplies that they might need to survive on their long travels through the bush while hunting or trapping. The story emphasizes Métis core values and beliefs including strength, kindness, courage, sharing, generosity, as well as care for the greater community.
Kit includes:
-A copy of the story
-A felt board with story pieces
-Language cards in Michif, French and English
-Matching cards
-A resource guide for educators
The Kit is intended to be utilized by early childhood educators to enhance an understanding of Métis culture for all children in a culturally appropriate and inclusive way. The MNO ELCC team has identified the importance of developing resources to support early learning professionals.
This kit is exclusively created by the Métis Nation of Ontario, with 100% of proceeds going directly to support the Métis Nation of Ontario. Métis Nation ELCC promotes the healthy growth and development of children and families through experiences grounded in Métis culture and community ways while Métis-specific wrap-around services, programs and policies will support their ongoing well-being.
