This land based learning experience and excursion is centered in the teachings of RESPECT, WISDOM, TRUTH, HUMILITY, LOVE, HONESTY and BRAVERY. These teachings, incorporated within the medicine wheel, are also found to exist throughout any Indigenous cultures of the world. With this in mind and heart, a team of MCFN community members will take students on a journey of discovery, on reserve, allowing participants to explore MCFN through sharing of local knowledge keepers, and teachings from authentic resources. Next, under the guidance of a certified Indigenous Recreational Therapist, students will come to understand Indigenous connections to the land, while traversing MCFN’s coveted community nature trails. We believe that this experience will contribute to the establishment of confident foundations which will serve to allow students to be more aware of Indigenous perspectives and cultures, while also encouraging the consideration of the true value of environment through responsible
actions and decisions.
