Land-based learning gives students an opportunity to take learning outside of the classroom. By taking learning to non-traditional classroom settings, students will engage in Indigenous and Western-based learning activities. Lessons will allow the class to achieve curricular outcomes through an Indigenous perspective and land-based activities, incorporating teachings from the seven Grandfathers and the medicine wheel.

Participants will learn respect, reconciliation, empowerment, culture, belonging, along with the personal benefits from learning through, from, and with the land. Learning to actively and safely participate in outdoor activities is a main focus of this two-credit course, which offers Wildlife and Habitat Studies, as well as Native Studies curricula at the 10, 20, and 30 level. Registering and committing to this course should be done so with serious consideration, as it is participation-based, and consistent attendance is a must in order to attain both credits. Warm and proper outdoor clothing is required as we are learning in the outdoors during all seasons and weather conditions, safety being our priority.
