Landbase Updates

Kihew Asiniy Education Centre is committed to bringing land-based teachings into the classroom as outlined in 3.0 Indigenous Knowledge and 4.0 Protection of Indigenous Knowledge and Transfer in Our SLCN Education Law.

Land-based learning typically uses an environmentally-focused approach to education by first recognizing the deep, physical, mental, and spiritual connection to the land that is a part of Indigenous cultures. This can include teaching about ceremonies, traditional medicines, the history of the land, how to be good stewards of the land, and how to speak traditional languages, among other activities. Ultimately, Indigenous-led, land-based learning can re-engage Indigenous youth in their own education, build community connectedness, and revitalize Indigenous languages and practices.

Ty Steinhauer

Tansi, my name is Ty Steinhauer, and I am excited to be joining the Land Based Learning team at Kihew Asiniy this year.

After spending the past few years teaching Jr High Cree, I’m looking forward to this new opportunity and a change of scenery. I’m excited to get out on the land, share teachings and experiences with our students, and continue learning alongside them.

I look forward to seeing everyone throughout the school year and making lots of great memories along the way. I’m excited for what this new year has in store!

Ay hay!

Tansi, my name is Ms. Betty (Betty Ann Moses), and I am the Land Based Learning Female Lead Instructor for Kihew Asiniy.

I am grateful to continue teaching and learning alongside our students in my home community of Saddle Lake. I enjoy sharing land-based knowledge and experiences with students while also learning from them and the new and exciting things happening in their world.

I look forward to another year of learning, growing, and spending time on the land with our students. I am thankful for the opportunity to continue doing this work in our community and hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed school year.
