Huron Natural Area, Kitchener ON

Jan Sherman, Anishinaabe Knowledge Keeper, and Rebecca Seiling OCT will give an overview of ideas and activities from the curriculum that they co-wrote called Thrive: Celebrating Diversity in the Land and Each Other. This collection is written in a Two-Eyed Seeing and multi-curricular approach to the topic of diversity and includes Ontario curriculum connections for grades 4-8. Activities can easily be adapted to younger grade levels and help to build connection within a learning community and with the Land around them.

Curriculum expectations (grades 4-8) include:

Visual art
Drama
Physical and Health Education
Science

Attending this workshop will give you access to a 45 page pdf curriculum document that is not for sale unless you spend time learning from and with Jan. In this way, we honour Jan’s Indigenous teachings that are included in this document.

We love this land where we play and learn: the sun that warms us, the trees that give us shade, beauty and places to climb. The plants that give us food. The creatures who teach us about how to live in a good way. Thank you to the bugs and turtles, the great blue herons and the tadpoles. To the fairy shrimp, the tree swallows, the pond snails, the newts. To the Jack-in-the-pulpits, the trout lilies, the goldenrod, the asters - all of you are so beautiful and teach us so much. To the water, which is life - the ponds, creeks and the Grand River watershed.
We are honoured to walk, learn, and play on the traditional territories of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, and Chonnonton Nations, treaty lands of the Haudenosaunee. Grateful for the ongoing care, stewardship, and teachings from Indigenous Peoples that help us walk gently on this earth. We are committed to the ongoing process of decolonization through partnering with local Indigenous educators in our facilitation, learning about the past and about good ways forward together, and respecting the land as our First Teacher.
