Where Does Our Food Come From?

Local food sources vary from one Village to another. Local food may come to us from forests, flats, tundra, rivers and lakes (i.e. fish,caribou, geese, ducks, moose, berries, roots, etc.). Each Village has different resources and, therefore, different sources. In this lesson, students will learn about the sources, location and availability of local food, develop mapping skills, interact with Elders to gain pertinent information, and understand subsistence issues of the past and present.
