What did you learn from this workshop? What will you do with what you learned?

I learned how to use the Guidebook and about some of the resources available for First Nations that want to make watershed plans.
I've learned what watershed meant, and what's it's all about. Coming into the initial workshop, I had no idea what it was. I plan to incorporate this information into our Community's Land Use and Occupancy project.
The process requires time, partnerships, funding and dedication. Be prepared for a long haul. I will promote the idea of watershed planning and the idea of First Nations to be actively involved with CDs.
The process of watershed planning and how to work with First Nations.

What are three things you liked about the workshop? Why?

Organized approach to the various segments of planning; Very relative to First Nations; A practical guide for First Nations
The chance to meet other watershed planners was great. To learn from others in the workshop was helpful. I liked to learn about CIER's work across Canada.
The location, the presenters being women, since they take care of water.
Books - gives me something to refer to in the next steps interaction - small setting allowed for more interaction with the group
1. The activities because we get to do something for ourselves 2. The presentation was clear and simple 3. The presenter was loud and clear.
The group discussions and learning from other peoples' and organizations' experiences. It was useful to hear from other community's experience. The collage activity was very useful as well.
Surprisingly, the activities! Presentations. Format of the workshop

Additional Comments / Feedback

Thanks for what you are doing at CIER to build First Nation capacity for watershed management!
It was frustrating for me because I couldn't read or write. But I liked the acceptance that I got. Wouldn't change anything else.
Workshop was very helpful and information is very relevant to the future of water shed management; presenter was knowledgeable; workshop was well run and kept on time and on topic for the most part.
I found the workshop very helpful and would benefit my Land Use and Occupancy Project and my community
