Driving Question

How can we truly become native to this place, living in reciprocity with the land?

Project Description

Our country's history starts with the Indigenous. The relationship to the land brought connection to all life. The European colonizers landing on the shores of North and South America introduced, often violently, a new perspective and way of life interacting with the land. The goal of this project is for students to gain a better understanding of the Indigenous ways of life and how the culture clashes set the stage for the foundation of our country. Becoming native to place is understanding the history of the land and what the land provides to the people who have lived here for hundreds of years.  

Entry Event
