Operating on 420 acres of ecological reserve space in Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish, BC) territory, Cheakamus Centre is an environmental education facility that provides experiential outdoor and land-based education programs to Grades 3-12 students from across the Sea-to-Sky, Metro Vancouver and Southern British Columbia regions. Established in 1969, originally as the North Vancouver Outdoor School, the Centre is owned by the North Vancouver School District, and as such, ties programming to the BC curriculum. Cheakamus Centre offers a variety of Indigenous Cultural Programs that are designed to “share the beauty, depth and vibrancy of Skwxwú7mesh First Nation culture in fun, interactive and engaging ways.” Programs include both one day, and overnight programming. Most notably, the Centre’s ‘Skw’une-was’ program is a provincially recognized 2 day program for Grade 3 students which immerses learners in traditional Skwxwú7mesh culture and provides cultural teaching experiences in connection with natural spaces. All programs are designed and delivered in conjunction with themes of ‘Seasonality,’ ‘Respect,’ and ‘Sharing’ in mind, as well as the First People’s Principles of Learning.

Vincent Ziffle incorporates Indigenous ways of knowing into his 100 level Chemistry courses at the First Nations University of Canada.
Assistant Professor, Vincent Ziffle, from the Department of Indigenous Science, the Environment, and Economic Development (DISEED) at First Nations University of Canada, discusses the intersections of Chemistry and Indigenous education. Ziffle explains how organic, introductory, and general chemistries can be explored experientially in classrooms, on the land, or in the kitchen. The chemistry of medicinal plants or the chemistry of food and cooking offers a high degree of traditional knowledge integration into the course. For Ziffle, Indigenous education incorporates traditional ways of knowing, traditional ecological knowledge, and involves working with and learning from Elders. Ziffle hopes to provide all students opportunities to understand chemistry, at least the basics, where principles are learned experientially enriching our lives to better understand our world.
