History seen through a Native Plant, Animal, & Peoples’ Lens
time-immemorial

British Columbia’s history begins with stories of the distant past through a native ethnobotanical lens. We end with a positive preview of the Future because there will be a future, we will solve the challenge of humanity’s potential self-Extinction; history shows us a path. And we note that the “melding of cultures,” that was once thought to be America and Canada’s goal, has evolved with today’s celebration of cultural diversity achieved, women’s rights guaranteed, and the need for biodiversity preserved.  With these lessons, we hope to fuel the love of learning in elementary school youngsters, cement a lifetime interest in history among secondary students, and provide pleasure and direction to those who have lived into old age, now re-learning old stories once overlooked or false.  We teach visually with remediation (for incorrect answers) allowing students of all ages to learn from their mistakes.  This is the greatest gift of history to future generations, the learning from past mistakes.  (E.O. Wilson above).
