The Banuts’ukuih (meaning, canoe coming to shore in Lheidli) project is an example of the experiential learning opportunities led by Indigenous instructors in partnership with the University of Northern British Columbia. Other experiential courses have involved creating a pit house, decolonization through land stewardship, and moose-hide tanning. These courses offer Indigenous and non-Indigenous post secondary students the opportunity to learn about Indigenous cultures through participation in cultural activities – such as carving a cottonwood canoe. In addition, these courses allow for the transmission of oral traditions – such as the Lheidli T’enneh story of ‘Astas and the Salmon. https://www.unbc.ca/experiential-learning
Please note: The quality of the audio and video in each interview on NCCIE.CA may vary. NCCIE has been a capacity- and skills-building project for students and youth. They have been "learning-through-doing," learning how to arrange and conduct interviews while, at the same time, gaining experience with the technology.
