Renewal, the second book in the Footbridge series, guides K–12 educators in bringing Indigenous voices and the philosophy, principles, and practices of Indigenous land-based education into their teaching. This text encourages educators to:

  • respectfully renew their own relationships with land
  • directly engage students with the land, no matter where they are located
  • guide students in learning through observation, listening, and discussion and to take action in response
  • honour diverse ways of knowing and being
  • understand historic injustices and engage with the contemporary Land Back movement
  • Through critical engagement with diverse written and visual works created by Indigenous leaders, land defenders, scholars, and Knowledge Keepers, experienced educators Christine M'Lot and Katya Adamov Ferguson support readers in connecting with Indigenous perspectives on land and water. They offer guidance on bringing Indigenous works into the classroom, including concrete ways to facilitate discussions around land-based topics, advice for land-based activities, and suggestions for how students can engage with these topics through inquiry learning.

    In this resource, you will find:

  • prompts for individual reflection and group discussion
  • valuable concepts and methods that can be applied in the classroom and beyond
  • practical action steps and resources for educators, parents, librarians, and administrators
  • Use this book as a springboard for your own learning journey or as a lively prompt for dialogue within your professional learning community.
