The Great Peace

The Great Peace comes alive on CD-ROM. Working World Training Centre has come together with Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) to produce an exciting interactive program that is inviting as it is interesting. The subject of the CD-ROM is the coming together of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois Nations).

The main menu is composed of five icons representing different phases of the Great Peace. Illustrations, photographs, animations and video sequences seamlessly provide a unique program that will be a great benefit to Aboriginal people.

The CD-ROM is a perfect educational tool because it interacts on three levels: elementary, secondary and post-secondary. The help function is fun and easy to operate and understand. The narration is somewhat monotone at times but is usually warm and welcoming.

Information is bulging out of this program which boasts 2600 screens, 37 bibliographies and covers over 30 topics. Everything you need is just a click away. Check out this CD-ROM by calling Working World Training Centre at (519) 753-1111 or write to 188 Mohawk Street, Brantford, ON N3S 2X2.
