In Canada, in elementary school students learn about the fur trade and about aboriginal cultures. We bring in elders from many different nations. Artists, trappers, and storytellers. We often go out on the land with them too.

Cool! I trapped and tanned some hides before.

This is a very respectful way for kids to grow up learning about the land they live on and what happened before them from those that pass down stories.

Yes, agreed. They learn some of the story. Not all, but some. Much is left out, on both sides of the story.
