Living with Nature - Bow Valley History from Indigenous Perspectives

Learn the Indigenous History of this Land.

This workshop will address living with nature in each season, as well as the history of the Bow Valley from an Indigenous perspective in an informal setting to encourage conversation and dialogue.

The goals are to:

  • grow existing relationships and foster new relationships with the Indigenous peoples, settlers and tourists to learn more about local Indigenous histories to the Bow Valley;

  • provide information about Indigenous and WildSmart perspectives when interacting with nature and animals;

  • lead to an increased understanding of why certain actions promote coexistence and how the power of change rests in individual actions.

This will be one of the first times this presentation will be shared! Join us for our practice run.

Facilitators: Daryl Kootenay, Travis Rider and Andrew Cotterell from Biosphere Institute
