Cree Edukit : Minisa berries
Sommaire:
Edmonton and the surrounding area are part of Treaty Six Territory. Prior to the signing of the treaty in 1876, the inhabitants were primarily Cree people in a variety of communities or loosely-connected family groups. Within the landscape of Treaty Six, berries were an important food source. Knowledge about berries has been passed down from generation to generation. These resources have been designed to share information about how berries were used and preserved by the Cree People in the past, as well as today.
