Indigenous Peoples have been monitoring, collecting data, and stewarding the land and the environment across the ages. This has led to a rich knowledge base, known as Traditional Ecological Knowledge, which is a part of Indigenous Knowledge, a recognized science. Traditional Ecological Knowledge includes a vast body of information about the interconnected elements of the environment, information that has been transmitted through oral storytelling.

In this session, we will be planting the Three Sisters (corn, squash, and beans), testing tap water at home, and learning how these elements interconnect. We will also take part in a Virtual Reality experience where participants travel in a virtual canoe and learn about traditional Haudenosaunee, or Six Nations, cultures.
