Cultural Awareness
Children are in the best position to thrive when they have a sense of identity and connection to culture. In the spirit of cross-cultural awareness, we have provided a curriculum with a small taste of the history, the traditions, and the richness of the Aboriginal people of Saskatchewan. Your participation in this curriculum will provide Aboriginal foster children a gift that will bear fruit for a lifetime: the opportunity to begin the journey of knowing and understanding the Aboriginal way of being.

What is the Aboriginal Cultural Curriculum?
The Caring for Aboriginal Children Cultural Curriculum is a 6-hour experience intended to highlight for future foster families the value and importance of culturally safe foster homes for Aboriginal children.

Competency-Based Approach
Caring for Aboriginal Children reflects the healthy mutual respect between the Aboriginal people and non-Aboriginal people of Saskatchewan derived from the Aboriginal Cultural Component document, which is a “living document” overseen by the PRIDE Cultural Committee and designed to provide the structure needed to introduce the teachings of Saskatchewan Elders and Aboriginal communities to participants. The Caring for Aboriginal Children Cultural Curriculum is designed to stand alone.
It will also be used as an additional session in the broader PRIDE (Parent Resources for Information, Development, and Education) Foster Parent Training Program.
