A land-based education school in Ugpi’Ganjig (Eel River Bar First Nation) in New Brunswick is re-introducing children to Mi’kmaw traditional knowledge.

Seated along Charlo Beach, about 250 kilometres north of Moncton, on Thursday kids took in lessons about plamu (salmon), clams and water safety as part of the M’sit No’kmaq Forest & Nature School program.

“Our education is culturally grounding,” said program co-ordinator Jasmine LaBillois, from Ugpi’Ganjig.

“[It] just allows our children to feel that connectedness to land.” Full story here.
