University of Saskatchewan: Decolonizing Education Through Bison Teachings

The University of Saskatchewan’s (USask) Indian Teacher Education Program (ITEP) is partnering with local school divisions to deliver four culturally affirming land-based learning sessions for elementary, middle years and high school students. ITEP Director Yvette Arcand and Dr. Dawn Wallin along with the USask Livestock and Forage Centre of Excellece (LFCE) Director, Dr. Scott Wright and Elder Roland Duquette were instrumental in teaching the students about bison teachings, honour sacrifice, kindness, respect, and using education for the collective good of others. Read more about the ITEP’s work here.
