Learning the Land TEA & NCC Partnership Showcase
- What word or symbol would best represent what your group would like to see more of in this world?
- What key land locations around your First Nation best represent who you are and where you come from?
This video project was made by students at asiniw-kisik Education Campus as part of an integrated arts program lead by N’We Jinan in 2018/2019. This video is a powerful reminder of the dark history of residential schools and the resilience shown by First Nations to maintain connections to culture and identity.

From 2017-2019, I had the opportunity to coordinate another Learning the Land partnerships between Treaty Education Alliance and Outward Bound Canada.
The video below highlights our second trip up to kâniyâsihk Culture Camp run by Outward Bound Instructor Dr. Kevin Lewis.
Throughout the two-year partnership, educators from Treaty Education Alliance affiliated schools had opportunities to attend of series of outdoor camps and training modules. The camps were intended to build greater capacities of teachers to offer strong land-based learning programs to their students.
The following video highlights some of that training and features a few of the awesome educators that were able to take part.
