Finding our place in Creation

Funded Amount: $30000
This project seeks to do a seasonal activity to build our knowledge bundle, survival skills and food security development. We want to have one activity per season (which may take a few days up until a few weeks depending on the duration of the activity from start to finish). We would like to invite in an Elder/knowledge keeper to come share their knowledge of the area and land that we walk on. We would also like to invite some knowledgeable individuals to facilitate the land based learning. In each season having a different area of focused learning objectives. In the summer we want to go canoeing around the area, in the Fall we want to do rabbit snaring (harvesting the fur and meat), in the Winter we want to do ice fishing, in the Spring we want to make maple syrup by having a sugar bush.
