The Royal Ontario Museum Trip

Our Pimooteewin class took a field trip downtown to the Royal Ontario Museum last semester in December.

We spent the day visiting different galleries at the ROM, including the Canadian First Peoples section and special exhibition of Chinese Terracotta Warriors. We also spent some time roaming through rooms filled with million-year old dinosaur bones, experienced the Bat Cave, viewed live fish and bugs, compared bird sizes, and discovered hundreds of beautiful gemstones...

Check out this < VIDEO LINK > for highlights of the day.

One class assignment for the ROM asked students to interview each other about any interesting findings in the galleries. This < VIDEO LINK > is a compilation of those interviews from our "Nongo News" correspondents... ("Nongo" means "today" in Ojibwe.)
