Outreach & Teacher Resources
Tsleil-Waututh Seasonal Activities: A That Which Sustains Us Education Kit
This Resource Kit was co-created with the Tsleil-Waututh Nation (TWN), and the same Kit is also used in their community at the Tsleil-Waututh Nation siʔáḿθɘt (“si-om-thet”) School.
The school’s mission is to provide a culturally appropriate learning environment that nurtures the well-being of students, families and the community. Their program is anchored in the TWN laws of truth, family, culture and well-being. Land-based learning is practiced regularly with classes spending considerable time doing outdoor experiential education (OEE) in their traditional territories.
