Learning Resources
In traditional Métis society, education was informal and was passed
down to youth from the Elders or the “Old People”. This form of
education centred on resource extraction and how to make a living off of the
land. Since bison were at the centre of the Métis economy during the
golden age of the Métis Nation (1816-1869), this hardy animal is a fitting
symbol of traditional Métis education. Métis youth would have
learned from their Elders the many useful and lifesaving applications, which
this one animal provided to their entire society. This section contains all
learning resources commissioned for the Virtual Museum, in addition to many
of the Gabriel Dumont Institute’s proven educational resources from the
past.
