POSITION: Beginning in September 2024, Grand Erie is offering the opportunity for students to explore English, Native Arts, Math, and Science through an empowering, culturally relevant, learning-from-the-land lens. Courses are taught with Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe perspectives, and an Indigenous context brought to the curriculum. Half-days of learning will allow students to gain hands-on experiences fostering a deeper understanding of our relationships to the land, Indigenous ways of knowing, and the preservation of Indigenous knowledge and tradition. Classes will take place at Hagersville Secondary School, including access to greenhouse, and visits to significant sites and learning experiences within and around First nations’ communities.
