Ethnobotanical Walks for students and teachers of School District #5 $5,000

This project is in partnership with School District #5 (Southeast Kootenay) Aboriginal Education and the Ktunaxa/Kinbasket Tribal Council for the purposes of ethnobotanical interpretative work with students and their schoolteachers. During the last 3 years, the Ktunaxa Ethnobotany Project has had countless requests for providing workshops to the students in School District #5. Unfortunately, due to funding constraints the school district has only been able to afford a small number of ethnobotany workshops. The ethnobotany walks are valuable to the students in a number of ways: interracial relations, cultural awareness, and environmental awareness. The students in the walks range from grade four to twelve; due to the nature of the land it is easy to cater these walks to any age and knowledge level.
