This paper reports the findings of an initial literature and website search of land-based education initiatives in Canadian post-secondary institutions. This work represents the first stage of a larger project, which aims to gather information about existing land-based education within Canadian post-secondary institutions and develop land-based curriculum for engineering students. The paper begins with a discussion of truth, reconciliation, Indigenization and decolonization in the context of education and land-based learning. It continues by presenting the authors’ positionalities, and then methods and findings. Preliminary findings from the initial search show that land-based approaches do not appear to be widespread within engineering faculties, programs, or courses in Canada. Additionally, more diversified knowledge gathering is required to better understand the current landscape of land education within Canadian post-secondary institutions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
