Bringing Tlingit Forward We recently developed a curriculum on the Constitution of Carcross Tagish First Nation. This curriculum was developed utilizing our community Elders, resource people and curriculum writers. This curriculum is unique in that it utilizes Tlingit culture and ways of knowing and teaching as the foundation to curriculum development. Our proposed workshop will allow participants to examine the contents of our constitution curriculum and will invite participants to develop and write learning outcomes with respect to stories, land, clans and ceremonies. We will also explain how our curriculum tests current legislation and will give a brief explanation of current policy work with respect to curriculum inclusion in our community school. As well we will show how curriculum development is encouraging the writing and oration of Tlingit culture in our modern world. I will wait to see if our proposal is accepted before I invite our resource and community Elders to participate.
