Many Indigenous communities in Canada do not have access to clean drinking water. Lack of infrastructure, along with pollution caused by various industries, affects local drinking water. In this lesson, students will come to understand the significance of water supply and quality to the needs of humans and other living things in their local community. To do so, they will administer a survey and analyze the results to investigate the ways that water is used in their community, the quality of the water, and the perceived threats to the water. This lesson meets cross-curricular outcomes for Science 8 and Mathematics 8.
