Description
In this course, students explore the intersection of land-based pedagogy and diverse art practices, providing an opportunity to engage deeply with Indigenous ways of knowing, teaching, and creating. Students are encouraged to embrace a holistic approach to education, one that weaves together traditional ecological knowledge, experiential learning, and artistic expression. Combining theoretical exploration, land-based experiences, and engagement with traditional and contemporary artforms (e.g., beadwork, quillwork, weaving, basketry, and other visual arts), students gain practical insights into the role of art as a medium for preserving cultural heritage, fostering community resilience, and building relational kinship with the land.
