Summer Virtual Workshop
Encoded in Indigenous languages are the world views and traditional knowledge systems of Indigenous peoples gained by extended histories of interactions with the natural world. This workshop explored the interrelationships between Indigenous language, culture, and ecology and the role of language as a carrier of ecological and cultural knowledge. This workshop provided participants an overview of cultural worldviews and traditional ecological knowledges (TEK) as well as tools to create TEK language-based curriculum. The workshop highlighted model curriculum that incorporated TEK and language on topics such as traditional plants and climate change. Participants had the opportunity to apply their learning by creating their own mini lesson.
