FNMI Games and activities in physical education |
ABOUT |
In recent years there has been an emphasis on bringing in FNMI culture and history into the classroom. Although this emphasis has not been seen as much in Physical Education. This website is a resource filled with different FNMI games/activities coming from Blackfoot, Cree, Metis, and Inuit Culture that can be used in a Physical Education setting. The games will mostly focus on Blackfoot culture, because in Lethbridge we are located on Blackfoot land. But it will also include other games and activities from various First Nations cultures. Not only will this resource explain how to play each game but it will also include a story with why this game was played. It is important to know the backstory behind the game and why these different cultures played these games.
