TOPONA: The Original People of North America is an educational game about the accomplishments and contributions of First Nations and Native Americans. Two First Nations women from Fort Resolution, Ruth Mandeville and Marilyn Sanderson, developed the concept and the resulting game is ideal for classroom or informal settings. The board game consists of approximately 500 facts about the First Peoples of North America. Question cards relate to general knowledge and specific culture areas. Reading level for the Junior Version is grade four. The Advanced Version cards are suitable for grade nine to adult. The designers of this trivia game have incorporated traditional Native game features such as counting sticks that replace dice, and a circular game board. The object of the game is to correctly answer questions and advance around the game board. The first player to return to their respective starting place is the winner. The trivia question cards contain detailed answers that make this game for two to six players a valuable extension activity for Native Studies classes. UNAVAILABLE
