Featured ProjectIndigenizing Earth Ranger's Education Curriculum
CIER recently collaborated with Earth Rangers on a project to incorporate Indigenous perspectives into their School Assembly Program. The Program focuses on the impacts of climate change on people and animals and what we as Canadians can do to mitigate those impacts. Embedded throughout the presentation are examples of how Indigenous communities are affected by and adapting to climate change, including a video by a young Inuk woman from Nain, Nunatsiavut. The program also discusses how traditional knowledge is helping to inform conservation issues, like changes in species distribution and abundance. Throughout the year, Earth Rangers will be visiting Indigenous communities across the country with this program, as well as introducing non-Indigenous students to these important perspectives.
