Explore the local uses of Ochre with this worksheet.

In conjunction with a First Nations community member, hold a demonstration of the ways Ochre is used locally in the community.

Learn the names of each type of Ochre in your local First Nations language and, if possible, add samples of the Ochre to the worksheet.

There are two versions of the worksheet with the second version adding a section for students to add the minerals that each type of Ochre has that contributes to its colour.
