About This Activity
Mlkiknewawti (mel-gig-new-oh-di), meaning that which gives you strength in Mi’kmaq, invites Indigenous youth to learn together on the land this summer. The Mlkiknewawti Land-based Education Program brings students entering grades 9-12 together at Asitu’lɨsk, a 200-acre preserve of pristine Nova Scotia forest, and is led by staff and instructors from SuperNOVA and the Ulnooweg Education Centre. Working with Indigenous partners, Elders and Knowledge Keepers, the program centres community priorities and educational goals through land-based activities that provide students with opportunities to explore STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) through a lens that integrates western science with Traditional Knowledge.
