The Seven Teachings Stories are inspired by the Seven Sacred Teachings of the Anishinaabe—love, wisdom, humility, courage, respect, honesty, and truth. These stories are set in urban landscapes, where Indigenous children tell familiar stories about home, school, and community. Recommended for ages 4-8.

About the Teacher's Guide
Designed to help teachers in early years classrooms use The Seven Teachings Stories series, by Katherena Vermette, Teacher's Guide for the Seven Teachings Stories provides the framework and key ideas educators need to become participants in a culturally responsive classroom community and to deepen their understanding of the Seven Teachings. With these stories, educators can create a space to discuss diverse perspectives, experiences, and traditions with young readers, and to foster a deeper understanding of ourselves as human beings and of our relationships with others. Recommended for use with students in grades K-3.

• Key information about the Seven Teachings, Anishinaabe vocabulary, and the characters in each story.
• Ideas to guide student learning.
