In this interactive workshop, participants will learn about ways of being in relationship to land through the model used at the Indigenous and land-based learning centre, Akinomaagayegaamikoong in our school district. Spending time on the land, participants will make connections to the lands, relationships with treaty partners and bringing Indigenous Knowledges into outdoor education practices in a culturally sensitive manner.

The facilitators will walk participants through a model adapted from First Nations and Métis Math Voices in collaboration with our treaty partners that guides Indigenous and land-based learning at Akinomaagayegaamikoong. The adapted model integrates the 5Rs, UNDRIP, treaty rights, culture, language and inquiry-based education into land-based learning. We will use the model to illustrate a best practice in creating programming that reflects and centres local Nations and Indigenous students, and is good for all.
