Examples from Sliammon, BC and Île à la Crosse SK will illustrate how indigenous nations in the early twentieth century conceived of their architecture as cultural conduits for both historical indigenous knowledge and the changes that their societies faced with the arrival of newcomers. Special attention will be paid to the educational aspects of architecture that were cultural, scientific and technological both historically and today.
