Full-time
Eeyou Istchee
900 hours
The Eeyou Ituun – Cree Land Stewardship program celebrates the richness of traditional Cree culture while cultivating a deep connection to the stewardship of the precious territory of Eeyou Istchee. The program aims to provide an educational experience that goes beyond traditional classroom teaching to create a stimulating, inspiring learning environment rooted in ancestral values.
Field activities and a deep connection with nature are at the heart of our pedagogical approach as all courses are relocated to traditional camps on Traplines of experienced Tallyman’s camps, offering students the opportunity to put their knowledge and skills into practice.
Eeyou Ituun fuses the age-old wisdom of Cree traditions with contemporary knowledge, immersing students in an educational journey that honors the past while preparing them for the future. Traditional teachings, passed on by elders, knowledge keepers and Tallyman, are interwoven with land stewardship courses to provide all the necessary tools for effective land use.
By encouraging the diversity of talents and the development of traditional skills, our program aims to train conscious leaders, rooted in their cultural identity, and committed to the preservation of the territory, so that they become agents of positive change, capable of harmonizing modernity, tradition, and the protection of Eeyou Istchee’s territory.
