About

Join USask Science Outreach Manager Cree Longjohn in this series of videos to learn about Plains Cree knowledge, culture, and language through connections to the museum’s collection, our local natural world, Earth's history, and the evolution of life.

You can also print these activity sheets that go with the videos, featuring colourable artwork by Prairie Constant:

• Teachings from Nature: Animals
• Teachings from Nature: Rocks and Plants
