The level of French is accessible to French immersion students grades 5 through 10 (ages 10 to 16 and above).

This program was designed with new social studies pedagogy in mind, and for the new curriculum. There is a correlation table with the curriculum below. The many contributors to this program are members of Canada’s First Nations themselves. Most also have PhDs and are First Nations native leaders and many teach in grade schools and in universities.

 The kit is multi-media, which means it is designed to reach students through a variety of channels (multiple intelligences), and the exposure to a variety of speakers and materials maximises differentiated instruction.
