Outdoor Learning Conference 2024

In 2022, after more than 15 years as an indigenous outdoor educator, I saw a need for a culturally responsive yet inclusive pedagogy. Through my own life experiences, talking with Elders in different regions of the country, and academic research I was able to create a culturally responsive pedagogy that I believe will be useful to educators that wish to support Indigenous learning and ways of knowing

Participants will be introduced to the culturally responsive Indigenized outdoor learning model. The model includes: land based practices, community connection and cultural content. Group members will participate in relevant examples such as ceremony (smudge), language learning through song and traditional knowledge/skills, as well as discussion during our time together.
