Excerpt:
Since last fall, Akwesasró:non Louellyn White, associate professor of First Peoples Studies at Concordia, has been working with students in her Indigenous Ways of Knowing (FPST 297) class to plan the first Indigenous Garden on Concordia’s Loyola Campus. Activities have included designing the garden and starting seedlings, as well as learning about their relationships to food, plant cycles and companion planting.
On May 22, community members, students, faculty and staff gathered for the inauguration of the student-led project, a gathering place for land-based learning and home to traditional foods and medicines.
The event included an opening ceremony, with singing and drumming from Kanien’keha’ka Knowledge Keeper Ka’nasohon Kevin Deer, as well as students Arlo Price and Alex Kack.
Participants also planted the garden’s first seeds and plants, including tobacco, corn, beans and squash.
