Role Play |
This site gives you more information about Africville, which is featured in the Up Close box on p. 34 of the text. On the site you'll learn more about the history of Africville and the effects of its destruction. You'll also find a list of famous Canadians who lived in Africville.
At this Web site, you can learn about Mi'kmaq history from the people who lived it. These oral histories (stories told about the past by people who were living then) give you a first-hand look at what life was like for these Mi'kmaq in the first half of the 1900s.

Role Play |
1. Visit the Mi'kmaq Oral Histories Web page.
2. In the list of names between the photos at the top, click on "Daniel J. Stevens."
3. Read this oral history.
4. Think about how reading someone's personal story about the past is different
from reading information in a textbook. How do you think oral histories can help
historians? Write a paragraph to explain your ideas.
5. Work in a small group to act out a scene that might have taken place in Daniel
Stevens's family. In your scene, try to communicate the emotions people are
feeling, as well as some of the information contained in the oral history.
