Discover "Indigenous Knowledge," a fascinating Learning and Evaluation Situation (LES) offered by Dokoma Editions for Secondary 5 students within the Quebec Culture and Citizenship program.

This LES, part of the Quest for Meaning and Worldviews segment, invites students to explore the richness and diversity of Indigenous knowledge, highlighting its crucial importance in understanding our world and collective living.

At the heart of this pedagogical approach, students are led to critically exploit information and immerse themselves in the oral, practical, and experiential knowledge forms characteristic of Indigenous cultures. Through activities such as explaining Indigenous words or expressions without direct equivalents in French or English, participants discover the profound influence of Indigenous language on world perception.

The first task, "Throughout Knowledge," offers an immersive discovery through an interactive film-game on Indigenous knowledge, providing a unique and engaging learning experience. Continuing their exploration, the task "Follow the Guide" leads students to research specific Indigenous knowledge, enriching their understanding and appreciation of Indigenous cultures.

In "The Indigenous Legacy in Quebec Society," students respond to a quiz on Indigenous knowledge, solidifying their learning and acknowledging the invaluable contribution of Indigenous knowledge to our collective heritage. Finally, the concluding task invites them to create a quiz on Indigenous cultures, fostering creativity and knowledge exchange among peers.

"Indigenous Knowledge" is more than just an LES; it's an invitation to value and integrate Indigenous perspectives into our collective quest for meaning and worldview. It equips Secondary 5 students with the necessary tools to become respectful, informed, and committed citizens in recognizing and celebrating cultural diversity.
