Today in class we learnt about the first people's in Canada's social Structure. We did notes. Are note started out by saying how a group of people relate to one another and it can be based on written and in written laws and practices. People need to share the same ideas about roles for the group to hold together. After those notes we watched two videos one about a First Nations elder and the second about the seven teachings.
Here are the links for the videos:

After these videos we did more notes, are next notes were about extended families and clans. We learnt about community size and different gender roles. Relating to the elder videos we did notes about elders. The education was also different back then. The last thing we learnt about these notes in social structure was justice and conflicts. The end.
Carson, great blog. I think you did good but could use a little more detail. I believe you could have said more about how the social structures where organized. Such as saying for example more about each part. For example you could have said that “It takes a village” for the communities to function. Also how the clans where determined. Which is on either your maternal or parental clan line. Then you may have added how each community size depended on the availability of resources and how in the winter they would split into smaller groups to accommodate this. And how they meet up again in the summer when everyone would have a job. You may have also went into more detail about the gender roles. How men had jobs and women had jobs. Although if a women thought she would be better at a mans job then she had the right to do it and viscera. I noticed you talked about elders but you could have went into much greater detail about how the elder was chooses. This would have helped the people who weren’t there understand more about the topics we learned that day. Another thing you could have added to the education part of your blog is that you learned by doing. The whole point of it is that you aren’t taught how to properly do it you are taught by doing it yourself. You do it however it works for you. Another thing is that the community taught everyone. And everyone is expected to know the groups history spiritual ideals and practical skills. Also something you could have added to the part about justice and conflicts is that everyone works to the good of the community, and depending on the crime the whole community would work together to help the “ unbalanced”. Also that the individuals were counselled by the elders to restore harmony for the community. For better info I would say take a look at Kenzies post she did a great job on explaining herself. https://canadianhistorytoldbyus.blogspot.ca/2017/09/in-todays-news_25.html?m=0#links
