Inspiration for the project came from a call from British Columbians for a more comprehensive educational component focused on historical discrimination in British Columbia.

Study Guide: Balancing History: Warp Weft Weave: Joining Generations

Grades 8 through 12 students can deepen their understanding of social injustices and discriminatory policies in British Columbia with a new study guide — Balancing History: Warp Weft Weave: Joining Generations — by award-winning author and visual artist Jenn Ashton and well-known local editor Andrea Lister, in partnership with the British Columbia Historical Federation.

This study guide has been prepared to accompany the British Columbia History magazine article “Warp Weft Weave: Joining Generations” (Vol 53, Issue 3, Fall 2020) by Jenn Ashton. “Warp Weft Weave: Joining Generations” is the second article in the series of written and visual art that explores Ashton's journey to discover her Indigenous roots and her Coast Salish family.
