Indigenous ways of being - Interdisciplinary Expressive Arts

Lee Beavington - lee.beavington@kpu.ca

I use Robin Wall Kimmerer’s fantastic book, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants, as a required textbook. Students engage in activities inspired by this book and Indigenous ways of being, including building nature sculptures, exploring the stories and origins of family and ancestors, and opening themselves to other perspectives and worldviews - IDEA 1100
