You are expected to arrive on time, use positive language, to treat each other fairly and to bring the following supplies:

Only one person speaks at a time unless you are doing group work.

First Nations Studies values the traditional teachings of the Seven Grandfathers:

1.  To cherish KNOWLEDGE is to know WISDOM

2.  To know LOVE is to know PEACE

3.  To honour all of creation/universe is to have RESPECT

4.  Bravery is to face the foe with INTEGRITY

5.  HONESTY is facing a situation with TRUTH and SINCERITY

6.  TRUTH is to know all of these things.
