Bringing an Indigenous lens to Environmental Inquiry
New Webinar March 4th
It's time to take the lead from Indigenous folks on relationship to land. You can begin to change the relationships your students have to land and foster respect for Indigenous ways of knowing.
In 2018 I wrote here about the release of the second edition of Natural Curiosity, an Environmental Inquiry resource mainly for elementary educators. Here is a bit of what I said:
"...the information contained within this text completely turns Western/European notions of environment and environmental education on its head. The writing offers a life-affirming view into teachings that sustained Indigenous Nations on this land, and offers the same to non-Indigenous folks if we can be humble and turn towards them."
I am excited to announce that the NC team will be featured in the next webinar in the Kikinoo’amaadawin Webinar Series. They will share stories about how Natural Curiosity is being taken up in the classroom. This includes examples of how the team is working to practically realize aspects of the Indigenous lens in elementary grades.
If you are a fan of Natural Curiosity or want to learn more, why not join Dr. Jean-Paul Restoule and I for our free webinar with the team on March 4th at 7pm EST.
