Land-Based Programs Offered by the Treaty Education Alliance


Lori Whiteman, Executive Director of the Treaty Education Alliance, describes their land-based programs and services.

The Treaty Education Alliance (TEA) offers educational programs and services for schools and communities. With funding from INAC they are able to serve K-12 schools using an inherent and Treaty Rights-Based Approach. The Alliance aims to increase student retention, numeracy, literacy, and community engagement. The Learning the Land program builds land-based learning capacity for teachers while working alongside language keepers and local Knowledge Keepers. The Alliance also partners with the Nature Conservancy of Canada and Outbound Canada for their programs. To learn more about their programs please review their resources below.

Check out Learning the Land website for educational initiatives undertaken to exercise the inherent and treaty rights to education.

In partnership with Outward Bound Canada, the Treaty Education Alliance offers Field Leader Training as professional development opportunities for teachers and affiliated schools. Check out this video!

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.
