Recently some University of Saskatchewan students, led by Dr. Alex Wilson, finished up their final trek of an Indigenous land-based education program. This program is the only one of its kind and garners interest from all over North America.
“The University of Saskatchewan Masters of Indigenous Land-based Education is a graduate program, which I’m a part of teaching, for educators doing land-based education in K to 12 schools and also in community organizations,” said Dr. Wilson. “They are in co-horts and there is one co-hort of 19 students that is just finishing their degree. This particular co-hort was one that I took on a canoe trip that started in Nipawin, Saskatchewan and finished up in Opaskwayak Cree Nation (OCN) as part of their last course.
