Concepts of Geographic Thinking: Geographic Perspective, Interrelationships

Inquiry: How might this new perspective on the Doctrine of Discovery guide Truth and Reconciliation  in Canada and other countries that were colonized since the introduction of the Doctrine in 1493? How might this view impact Truth and Reconciliation?

Activity: Collect data on the impacts countries that were colonized by Spain, Portugal, France and England as a result of the implementation of the Doctrine of Discovery and create a spatial journal to create a map of the data. Using the issue analysis, outline how these countries have impacted the indigenous populations through colonization in Canada and across the Globe. Create an outline that will help address this issue and move forward with Truth and Reconciliation for Indigenous people. Communicate results in a story map and share.
