Throughout the course, students learn how to apply traditional Indigenous ecological knowledge, philosophies, and teachings to modern issues. The overarching goal of the curriculum is to provide students with tools to address environment and climate changes that integrate the 2015 Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) Report recommendations, as well as influence urban planning to include a renewed focus on promoting and preserving biodiversity. The 2018 Ecological Knowledge summer class developed this proposal to incorporate experiential knowledge acquired this semester to contribute towards Calgary’s growth as a culturally respectful, biologically ethical, and thriving city. This proposal supports and enhances the Our BiodiverCity (2015) strategic plan and the City of Calgary’s fundamental principles of “protecting, developing, and managing” natural environments.enUnless otherwise indicated, this material is protected by copyright and has been made available with authorization from the copyright owner.
