In discussing the Parkland region, we were introduced to the idea of making decisions about land. Settlers moving into the area often claimed and bought land as their own for farming. However, many First Nations groups already lived on the land and had their own way of using and respecting it. As well, when oil was discovered, the oil industry also bought up land to access this natural resource. Students choose whose perspective they had a connection to and went into groups. They discussed the point of view of the land 'owner' and debated with each other why and how the land was important to them.
