As Indigenous communities traditionally move indoors during the colder months, students will explore the integral roles of storytelling, song, dance, and artistic expression in preserving cultural heritage, fostering community resilience, and nurturing spiritual connections with the land. Additionally, students will investigate traditional winter dwellings, gaining insight into the architectural techniques and cultural significance of these structures in providing shelter and warmth for Indigenous families. Through experiential learning, cultural immersion, and collaborative engagement with Indigenous communities, students will gain a holistic understanding of Indigenous ways of life during the winter season.

Students must have completed 3 of the MEd core courses - EDUC 5010, EDUC 5011, EDUC 5020, EDUC 5021, EDUC 5030, EDUC 5031, EDUC 5040, EDUC 5041, EDUC 5400, EDUC 5401
