We have been busy learning about bears and our cultural understanding of bears.  Today we watched a video call Bear Witness.  You can watch the video here.    It raised the topics of trophy hunting, and First Nations cultural beliefs about bears amongst many other things. Feel free to watch this again and see if you notice any other ideas of interest to you.  It was interesting to see this after our day at Grouse Mountain where we got to see and feel real bear fur, skulls and claws.  

As well, today we learned a little bit about Harriet Tubman and Martin Luther King Jr. to start to develop an awareness of “Black History” and why Viola Desmond’s picture will be on our new ten dollar bill (replacing Sir John A. Macdonald). 

Have a wonderful weekend!
