School Field Trips
ALL STUDENTS WELCOME
Experience One : Tree Medicine Plant Walk
This Experience is an outdoor plant walk led by a Métis knowledge keeper. Along the way, students explore human-plant relationships that support Métis communities in past and present. We will introduce plants of cultural significance and may discuss their uses for food, medicine, and tools. We will integrate Indigenous relationships with nature, harvesting traditions, environmental stewardship, and plant safety. Please note that location and season will influence types of plants available. Our knowledge keepers may share their own individual knowledge and stories.
Experience Two : Métis Artifacts Scavenger Hunt
Working in small groups, students will use trading supply cards to locate items used by the Métis on the Canadian prairies. Once found, we will gather as a large group and learn more about the items. We will use all our senses to gain a hands-on understanding of traditional Métis food, tools, medicine, and clothing.
