A Question of Loyalties. Episode 5
At the beginning of the American Revolution (1775), American rebels invade Canada but les Canadiens refuse to take up arms against British rule, and the invasion ultimately fails. The mass migration of 40,000 Loyalists that follows creates an English-speaking Canada virtually overnight. When the next American invaders arrive in 1812, they are fought to a stand-still at the battles of Queenston Heights, Chateauguay and Lundy's Lane. The cast of characters includes the military commanders General Isaac Brock and Colonel Charles-Michel de Salaberry; Hannah Ingraham and her Loyalist family; Benedict Arnold, the traitor to the American Revolution; Indian leader, Tecumseh; Pierre Bedard, tactician of an emerging colonial democracy; and Canadian traitors who are publicly executed.

Blind Spot: What Happened to Canada's Aboriginal Fathers?
This video program explores the issue of First Nations children who grow up without their fathers - the "blind spot." Two central themes in the program can lead to classroom discussion. First, the decimation of the buffalo stripped males of their role as providers and protectors. Moving First Nations people to reserves created a culture of dependency. The residential school system further eroded the First Nations family structure. The second theme is the lack of support or recognition by Canadian governments and the public on the issue of absent fathers. President Barack Obama is bringing the issue of fatherlessness to the forefront in the United States.
Filmed in North Central Regina, three men discuss fatherhood. Sixteen-year-old Tyson Kakaway is preparing for the birth of his first child. Only knowing his father through Facebook, Tyson vows he will do his best to be a father to his daughter. Andrew Kinniewisse is from the Yellowquill First Nation. Andrew is in the courts trying to prove that he can provide a stable home so that his two older children can return to live with him. Jeff Crowe spent 13 years in and out of jail; he now runs a parenting program at the Regina Correctional Centre.

Claiming the Wilderness. Episode 3
A small French settlement in New France builds a flourishing society and stakes a claim to a massive continent between 1660 and 1750. New France's populace includes shop keepers, artisans, farmers and landlords, as well as fur-trading expansionists like Governor Frontenac and his commercial partner, Robert Cavelier de La Salle. But this fast-paced growth brings New France into ever more bitter conflict with the wealthier and more numerous British colonists to the south. The story culminates with the heartrending deportation of more than 10,000 French Catholic Acadians as the struggle to possess North America enters its final phase.

The Life and Work of the Woodland Artists
During the 1970s, Daphne Odjig, a Potawatomi painter, brought together a small group of Aboriginal artists to collaborate with and to support one another. These artists included Daphne Odjig, Norval Morrisseau, Jackson Beardy, Carl Ray, Joseph Sanchez, Eddy Cobines and Alex Janvier, who were eventually referred to as the "Indian Group of Seven." Their work quickly gained attention as it provided a visual interpretation to the First Nations oral tradition and challenged the view that Aboriginal art was craft. Their work ranged from being very spiritual to slyly humourous, to deeply personal or fiercely political. Surviving members, Odjig and Janvier, are interviewed as well as family members of the group, art critics and commentary from Métis artists Duke Redbird and Bob Boyer.

When the World Began. Episode 1
This episode looks back more than 15,000 years at the history of the first occupants of the territory that would become Canada. From the rich resources of native oral history and archaeology come the stories of the first people - how dozens of distinct societies took shape, and how they encountered a strange new people, the Europeans. Among the earliest of these encounters is the 1534 meeting between Jacques Cartier and Donnacona, the Iroquoian chief. Later on the Pacific coast, Nootka chief Maquinna encounters John Jewitt, the English sailor.

We Are All Treaty People: Exploring Treaty Relationships in Canada Through A Simulation and Inquiry Project
In this lesson plan, students embark on a treaty simulation that lasts the entire semester and takes them through an intricate role play where students become the Indigenous peoples of Treaty #4 territory in what is now Saskatchewan. It is a living simulation where each day the students are playing out key events in Canada's history and drawing out their own conclusions about how the events of the past have influenced their place in Canada today as treaty people. Their ultimate goal is to create an inquiry based project that demonstrates their knowledge of Canada's treaty relationships and encourages others to acknowledge that We Are All Treaty People and as such have a responsibility to understand and acknowledge our shared history of this land. The semester ends with students celebrating the resiliency and successes of Canada's Indigenous peoples and highlighting the paths that could be taken for healing.
