Today the TRAIL program resumed- the children had walking tacos. We went back over the medicine wheel and its teachings for physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. We also watched mini documentary produced in Tobique and right here on our reserve with Matthew Edelberg from Natural Resources.
We discussed medicinal plants, how foraging times coincide with the medicine wheel and how to be a good steward of the land.
We also discussed the different time periods and what has changed and what hasn’t, the children have an excercise to ask an elder in their lives questions. In the coming weeks the kids will be working on a skit and we will have a special elder come in to discuss their life and be interviewed.
