About this event
Inspired by these worldviews, in this session, you will be invited to listen and discuss ideas on how to include the health and wellbeing of land (as well as air, water) within your early years program. Together we will consider how the creation of respectful, reciprocal relationships with the land will help children grow & learn in a healthier way.
Cree Elder, Mr. Joseph Masty asked: “If the land is not healthy, then how can we be?” Medical Health Officer with Vancouver Island Health and a member of Stz’uminas First Nation, Dr. Shannon Waters says: “We are the land, and the land is us” Indigenous worldviews include ethnics of respect, reciprocity, and responsibility to the land and other beings inhabiting the land.
