We’re excited to announce that proposal applications will open soon for funding to support Indigenous-led and co-led Land-Based Learning camps this summer. These camps offer an opportunity to take youth, students and leaders out on the land, where Indigenous and Western knowledges are braided to guide learning and deepen connection to place. From ceremonies to harvesting workshops to intergenerational teachings and environmental science activities, these camps honour diverse ways of knowing and provide space for cultural revitalization and land-based education.
Stay tuned for details on how Indigenous organizations, partners, and academic collaborators can apply.
Knowledge Hub Spotlight: Supporting a Seasonal Round
Led by West Moberly and Saulteau First Nations and partners, this Hub builds on the Klinse-Za caribou recovery, braiding Indigenous knowledge and science to guide habitat restoration and support climate resilience.
Led by the T’akhu Tlèn Conservancy, this Hub supports the Taku River Tlingit First Nation in revitalizing and applying Łingít laws. Through land-based teachings and knowledge sharing, the Hub strengthens cultural traditions, self-determination, and environmental stewardship.
