Inquiring into Local and Indigenous Histories

These lessons are designed to nurture the student competencies required for historical thinking and inquiry. Each lesson introduces a thinking tool and a related historical thinking concept that can then be used to support curriculum-related learning activities and inquiry projects.

The development of these lessons was made possible with generous funding from the Canada History Fund of the Government of Canada.
