About the Event

Join the Bank of Canada Museum for a live webinar in collaboration with the Treaty Relations Commission of Manitoba. 

This webinar will demonstrate the Bank of Canada Museum's lesson plan, "Five bucks: The economics of Treaty relationships." The lesson uses artifacts, art and historical thinking to look closely at the economics of the Treaties and encourages students to consider their role as a Treaty partner. You will also hear firsthand from Ojibway Anishinaabe artist Frank Shebageget, the creator of Free Ride, the artwork at the centre of this lesson plan. 

For Canadian teachers of grades 7 to 12 (Secondary I to V) in social studies, history, Indigenous studies, economics and visual arts. 

The virtual presentation will be 45 minutes with a question-and-answer period to follow. 

This webinar will be offered in English with simultaneous interpretation into French, American Sign Language, and Langue des signes québécoise. All resources discussed are available in English and French.
