dc.description.abstractSocial studies, with its focus on history, politics, and identity, provides an interesting site of analysis through which to examine the historical development of master or comprehensive narratives of the nation in Canadian curriculum documents. This research is focused on providing a historical critical discourse analysis of the development of the myths and meta-narratives of the nation as they appear within social studies and history curriculum documents in the province of Saskatchewan from the 1970s to 2008. As a historical critical discourse analysis, the research sought not only to provide explanation concerning the function of those discourses, but also draw connections between and provide explanation concerning the historical climate that gave rise to these particular discourses. The research provides useful information for examination of discourses of Canada and Canadian identity and offers critical suggestions for future curricular development. Working from the parameters set out by Tomkins (1986), the formal curriculum is the official state sanctioned program of study. The study is limited to the aims, goals, and learning outcomes as written in the official curriculum documents in the disciplines of social studies and history.
