Especially aimed at elementary school teachers, we have created a post-visit review covering the main themes of the Droulers site visit.
An outstanding resource for finding out more about native cultures
A full scale historical reconstruction of a 15th century iroquoian village is a substantial undertaking that has seen birth in Saint-Anicet. It is a place that allows students to develop a precise representation of that society and it's way of life.
The village setting, the artifacts, the animation and other activities will leave significant trace with your students. They will appreciate this visit either as a trigger activity at the beginning of the school year or as an integration activity at the end of the year.
Experimentation and a hands-on approach allow students to consolidate their learnings and we are convinced that our resources meet your curriculum requirements.
Since 2001, we had welcomed close to 30 000 elementary school students and about 5000 from high school in the longhouses. Our school programming is adapted to your needs. You have the choice between two or four hours of activities.
