Indigenous Education Students Engage in Diverse Experiential Learning Opportunities

March 19, 2026

Indigenous Education students of David Still and Leah Missens, Lecturers with the Indigenous Education program, participated in the WINTER ELBP 225 (Education Land-Based Pedagogy) Culture Camp from March 3 – 6, 2026, at the nēwoskan Traditional Campus south of Prince Albert. The camp provided students with immersive land-based learning experiences, including participation in pipe and sweat lodge ceremonies on Sturgeon Lake First Nation, SK. Students and faculty also engaged in traditional teachings focused on plant knowledge, Saulteaux teachings and protocols, and essential land-survival skills such as fire and shelter building.

The course instructors and students extend their sincere thanks to Xavier Iron–Still and his colleague for generously sharing their time and knowledge with the INED cohorts.

On March 10, 2026, Indigenous Education students enrolled in ERDG 215 were invited to read to the pre-kindergarten and kindergarten children at the ±è²¹³¾¾±²ÔÄå·É²¹²õ´Ç·É¾±²Ô Child Care Centre. This meaningful experience strengthened connections between students and the community and fostered early literacy through storytelling. The program appreciates the continued partnership and the opportunity to engage with children in this welcoming learning environment. It always an honour to be invited to have our Indigenous education students in our daycare space. We love reading to the children as much as they love listening to the stories.
