Their project, Land-Based Indigenous Module for Alberta Tomorrow, seeks to improve the understanding for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous students of the important and complex relationships that reveal the very real trade-offs that occur as land use changes. With our Indigenous Land Based Learning Module, students will gain an understanding of Indigenous content, increasing empathy for others and stewardship of the land.

Changes will not be immediate and are hard to measure, but it will be a tool that will help all youth in Alberta have a closer connection with our land and Indigenous knowledge.  Alberta Tomorrow will collaborate with IndigeSTEAM and the Siksika Board of Education to develop the Land Based Learning Indigenous Module for Alberta that will be a template for other Indigenous communities across the province.
