Indigenous Land-Based Learning in the Era of Covid-19

This resource is from the Dechinta Centre for Research and Learning. It includes 4 sections: navigating land-based education and pandemics in the North, removing the land from land-based education, queering Indigenous land-based education, and returning to the land during a time of great sickness.

In the summer of 2020, Dechinta hosted a COVID-19 Webinar Series to examine the risks of moving Indigenous land-based education online and to offer possible solutions, mitigations or alternatives to carrying out immersive group learning in land-based education during the pandemic. This report is an analysis and response to these conversations, as well as a toolkit and resource to assist educators and students who are continuing their land-based programming during COVID-19.
