Kapabamayak Achaak Healing Forest (KAHF) is a living memorial to Indigenous children lost to or affected by the residential school system as a gathering place for families and communities for learning outdoors. In this place, land-based learning, and intergenerational learning programs, connect people to their histories and cultivate sustainability.
The presenters will provide a brief history of the project and provide examples of land-based practices shared with many visitors to the site such as Indigenous ways-of-knowing and methodologies, environmental sustainability and wellness on the land. The presenters will discuss the collaboration between a diverse group of people who are First Nations, Metis, White, religious and secular, all with a common goal. Despite our varied perspectives, KAHF was created through mutual respect and a shared sense of place.
