Place and Land

Instructors Notes

This week, we have an essay that explores land-based learning. The essay closely examines the critical historical and contemporary importance of land in Indigenous ways of knowing, learning, and being and ongoing efforts to ensure our educational sovereignty. We also have a video about Grand Ronde Tribal Lifeways to reflect on and a Salmon Activity Book to explore. You will also see a short documentary about the life of salmon.  As you read and watch , try taking some notes in your journal about your thoughts, feelings, and connections.
