Description

This thesis aimed to document the cultural history of five sites deemed socially, physically, spiritually, and economically important to Iskatewizaagegan Independent First Nation people that have seen deterioration over the years. It also explored the relationship between health of the land and health of the people. Key objectives included: 1) exploring and documenting traditional ecological knowledge regarding history, use, and cultural importance of the sites; 2) determining community level indicators of social-ecological health; 3) facilitating an opportunity for intergenerational exchange and learning between community youth and Elders; and 4) developing a multi-media resource on the five sites.
