Introduction to this Resource Guide

From the moment the first black and native American people arrived in Bermuda in
the 17th century, their culture, heritage, language and stories became entwined with
Bermuda’s history and future. This guide aims to highlight the most important events
and personalities to have left a mark on Bermuda’s culture and history. The guide is
linked to the Cambridge Curriculum and starts with the Age of Discovery (1505-1684)
to be covered during the P4 and M2 classes. During P5 major events and personalities
during the period 1700-1918 are covered and the period of 1920 to the present day is
the focus of the section for P6 classes. Curriculum links provide background information
for teaching and suggestions for activities. All subjects in this guide can be taught by
our knowledgeble staff during our experiential learning field trips to Bermuda National
Trust properties.
