When ¢ik̓ku (robin) connects you to Land: How to use your experience and weave Indigenous knowledge "in a good way" (Marshall and Zimanyi, 2024). LIMITED
Friday May 9, 2025 2:00pm - 3:15pm MDT
Squirrel
As Dr. Albert Marshall and Louise Zimanyi remind, in “Walking together,” that our doings as we go about learning and connecting with Land must be done “in a good way.” Embedding Indigenous perspectives in what we do as educators therefore calls on us to be good in the way we develop “content” and/or embed Indigenous perspectives. Through the listening experiences of ¢ik̓ku (robin) the session proposes to go through the process of embedding Indigenous knowledge in lessons aimed for outdoor learning. This will be achieved by creating hands-on activities and using them on the spot! Participants will leave with ready-to-use strategies, ideas from colleagues, and stories that stem from local places. They will also experience being, knowing, and doing. Working in a good way is a process that can be learned from a familiar more-than-human named ¢ik̓ku!
