- INDG 1030 Original Peoples Learning Camp: A Land Based Learning Experience
- Description: Live, learn, and heal on the land—then carry its teachings into every community you serve. In this immersive, off-site camp, Ceremony Makers, Knowledge Keepers, and faculty guide you through ceremonies, seasonal teachings, and hands-on activities that reconnect mind, body, spirit, and territory. Under open skies and around evening fires, you’ll explore how land-based learning heals historical trauma, strengthens cultural continuity, and sparks personal growth. You’ll leave with practical skills—and a renewed sense of belonging—to design wellness projects that honour tradition while meeting today’s needs.
- Dates: July 21 – 24
- Location: London Campus
- Free Accommodations are available
- INDG 1025 Huztowaahh: Introduction to Community Design
- Description: Launch your design journey at the meeting point of Indigenous knowledge and cutting-edge creativity. Across immersive weekly lessons – equal parts studio, circle, and field adventure—you’ll blend rapid prototyping with land-rooted teachings on reciprocity, seeing, hearing, and understanding. From mystery quests and market safaris to closing-circle reflections, every activity shows how inclusive design begins with self-awareness and ends with solutions that serve community and culture alike.
