Description

Cultural Ecosystems – Camas prairies

Saturday May 1st, 9:30-12:00 online, $30/$50 per person sliding scale

Learn about five ecosystems that Pacific Northwest regional tribes have cultivated since time immemorial including camas prairies, food forests, saltwater beaches, wetlands, and mountain huckleberry meadows. Many children grow up thinking that humans are harmful to the land. Through learning about cultural ecosystems, youth see how people can promote biodiversity and well-being through conscientious stewardship. We will share an overview lesson and a camas prairie lesson – offering tips for teaching in the classroom and in the field. Participants will receive two lessons that fit best with grades 6-12 learning levels but can be adapted for younger children and adults. Taught by Mariana Harvey (Yakama), Dr. Joyce LeCompte, Elizabeth Campbell (Spokane/Kalispel), and Elise Krohn.

This class will be taught on Zoom online conferencing – a free platform. Participants will need wifi internet and to download Zoom application on a computer or mobile device before class. You will receive information on how to login to class and Zoom link with your registration.
