For a group of Indigenous students from North Island College, a trip to the other side of the earth turned into a chance to discover more about themselves and their culture.
The 10 students took part in a New Zealand field school, Journeying Together Te Ao HuriHuri, along with faculty members Sara Child and Ian Caplette from May 3 to 18.
"We go over there and we're learning about other people, but at the same time we're learning about who we are," Child said.
They were joined by a group of five Indigenous students and an instructor from Nova Scotia Community College.
