Walking in the Footsteps of our Ancestors

Mount Baker Secondary School
$12,135
Cranbrook, BC

This project is a continuation of the Ethnobotanical walks that the Ktunaxa/Kinbasket Treaty Council workers have developed and delivered for the past four years. These walks provide an excellent introduction to native vegetation, First Nation culture and encourage responsible use of local environments.

Specific Objectives of this project include:
• To build a partnership between School District $5, Aboriginal Education, and the Ktunaxa/Kinbasket Treaty Council;
• To provide increased opportunity for the students of School District #5 to have guided ethnobotanical walks;
• To enhance environmental awareness;
• To improve cross cultural understanding through this learning activity;
• To enhance relevance for Aboriginal students at school; through creating a sense of value of Ktunaxa knowledge to improve self esteem of Aboriginal learners, especially Ktunaxa learners.
