Comments(18) Using the mindmaps for the maritimes and the arctic communities, talk with your parents and families about what you think each community would value. Remember, value means anything that people think are important to help them live and survive. People and communities can value things that are wants AND needs.
Bonus: What do you think we value living in the prairies? What are things that we think are important in the prairies?
