I Live on __ Country
This simple worksheet is a terrific way for students to begin to make connections to the Traditional land on which they live. After finding the name of the Traditional lands on which they live, students will record this name on the sheet before illustrating their favourite place in the community.
As a class, research and find out the name of the Traditional lands that your school community is on.
