The University of Saskatchewan's (USask) Indian Teacher Education Program (ITEP) is partnering with local school divisions to deliver four culturally affirming land-based learning sessions for elementary, middle years and high school students.
These sessions focused on bison teachings, honour sacrifice, kindness, respect, and using education for the collective good of others.
The first session was hosted by ITEP at the College of Education in October for Grade 3 students from both school divisions. Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools (GSCS) hosted the second session of land-based art and cultural events in January for middle years students at the Ed and May Scissons Environmental Education Centre at Eagle Creek. Saskatoon Public Schools (SPS) hosted the third land-based learning day for high school students in February at the Brightwater Science, Environmental and Indigenous Learning Centre.
