"The Long Shadow of a Juniper Berry"

A poetic inquiry reveals how land-based experiences can foster kinship between children, the land, and each other. Through collaborative work involving an Elder, an artist, teachers, and researchers, the study demonstrates that engaging with the environment through artistic and narrative methods—such as life writing—enhances meaningful connections to place. The research highlights the transformative potential of Indigenous-led approaches in education, showing how such experiences shape broader learning outcomes and deepen ecological awareness among children.
