This may be a valuable resource for teachers and anyone interested in cultural competency related to First Nations. It may need to be individualized to regional indigenous language and culture as well. Indigenous peoples in Canada include First Nations, Inuit, and Metis: each would have geographic differences in culture and language. In southern Alberta the predominant First Nations culture is Blackfoot (Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani) with each nation speaking a closely related dialect of Algonquian. Across the prairies, Algonquian is also spoken by Plains Cree; Siouan by the Nakota (Assiniboine), Stoney Nakoda, and Dakota; while Dene is spoken by the TsuuT’ina (Sarcee). Cree, a sister language to Saulteaux and Blackfoot, is spoken in different dialects across Canada. Alberta Culture and Tourism. (2016). Blackfoot History.
