Metis Nation of Ontario ‘The Giving Tree’ Story Bag Kit – Virtual Event

This workshop features the story “The Giving Tree” by Leah Dorion. This charming story, richly steeped in Métis culture, focuses on the boyhood reminisces of Moushoom as he describes finding the “great giving tree” with his mother and father. The “Giving Tree” was a place where Métis travellers could find valuable supplies that they might need to survive on their long travels through the bush while hunting or trapping. The story emphasizes Métis core values and beliefs including strength, kindness, courage, sharing, generosity, as well as care for the greater community.

Each kit includes a copy of the story, a felt board with story pieces, language cards in Michif, French and English, matching cards, and a resource guide for educators. Please contact [email protected] to borrow ‘The Giving Tree’ Story bag kit today!
