Placemaking
Placemaking
In this interdisciplinary program, students will explore the histories and geographies of the land through the concept of placemaking and how the relationship that the Michi Sasgig (Mississaugas of the Credit) have had with the land since time immemorial is reflected in the land and in the newly constructed Crane Gathering Space. Students will then explore the aspirations of local treaty partners and consider how they can fulfill their responsibilities as treaty people by removing invasive species from the environment. Students will culminate their visit by learning about natural dyes and participating in a natural dye program that uses the harvested invasive species to dye natural fibres and materials.
