The Six Nations Iroquois Clans Program is very exciting AND well done. I’ve heard these stories before and I loved how they were presented in the DVD.
Shelley Knott Fife, Aboriginal Education Coordinator, Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board
The Six Nations Iroquois Clans Program is an exciting curriculum program that addresses many of the Ontario Ministry of Educations curriculum expectations, particularly in the area of Social Studies, History, the Arts and character development. & Ontario First Nation, Metis, and Inuit Education Policy Framework. I believe the time is right.

The pedagogy and curriculum of The Six Nations Iroquois Clans Program enables learners to see their own histories, as well as those of settlers and immigrants, reflected in an inclusive, comprehensive narrative.
Jonathan Anuik, Research Assistant, Aboriginal Education Research Centre, University of Saskatchewan
To school administrators and classroom teachers – get this program! It provides an outstanding curriculum in Native culture, combined with fascinating stories and engaging activities for students. This complete, easy to follow, and practical resource is ideal for addressing Ontario curriculum expectations while helping your students understand the origins and richness of Aboriginal peoples.
Dr. Mary Lynn Tessaro, Assistant Professor, Nipissing University, Brantford Campus
The primary focus of the Six Nations Iroquois Clans Program is on integrating the teachings about character development and Native Studies with current curriculum. Students and teachers will learn about the history and culture of the Six Nations people. The clan system is an integral component of the social structure and organization of the Haudenosaunee. This information is desperately needed in the schools of Ontario. I hope that you support this project.
Dr. Dawn Martin Hill, Academic Director, Indigenous Studies, McMaster University
The program which Mr. Misiak produced, has much potential to become a useful learning support for the schools of Ontario and possible for the rest of Canada. Many positive lessons and images are included in the stories, the follow up activities and applications. Students would benefit from being involved in this program as it has direct connections and implications with many of the issues being raised today by the Native People Nation.
John Caruana, Curriculum Superintendent, (retired)
An outstanding program that meets Ministry guidelines and leads students to a greater understanding of First Nations culture. It provides a very valuable resource to the First Nations Studies program in any school.
