Stewardship: Braiding Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) and Environmental Citizenship
The focus of our inquiry this year is to discover our role as stewards of the land by braiding together traditional ecological knowledge and environmental citizenship and sustainability practices. Our learning is guided by the Secwepemc calendar and cross-curricular assignments that anchor our collective classroom work, our art and creativity, as well as our field trips and experiential learning opportunities in Science 9-12, English 11/12, Contemporary Indigenous Studies 12, Career Exploration 12 and Outdoor Education 11/12.
