Description
Summary:Land-based education is in demand within both Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities. Within this book Dr. Michell introduces basic elements of land-based Education from an Indigenous perspective with a focus on the Woodlands Cree. Herman discusses four curriculum orientations (positivist, constructivist, critical and post-modern) that are connected to environment-related education so that educators have a springboard from which to ground their practice. Two Indigenous land-based educators, one male and one female, share their experiences and insights. Dr. Michell then discusses Land-based Education in terms of the Woodlands Cree Seasonal Cycle.
