Who Polluted the River? Activity
Connections to the land
The land is intrinsically connected
to the future generations.

Here Clyford told a First Nations

story about the creation of Turtle
Island.

This was a connection the grade

3s could understand as the
creation story helped connect
them to the nature around them.
