Growing Minds Conference Ticket & Tour 3: Integrated Indigenous Experience
Learning from Place: Land Stewardship and Food Systems at Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community Organized by the Minnesota Humanities Center, this immersive Learning from Place experience invites participants to learn from the land stewardship and food systems work of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC). Educators will participate in two guided experiences: a tour of Wozupi Tribal Gardens and a bison tour led by SMSC Natural Resources. Participants will rotate between both experiences, gaining insight into community-centered agriculture, ecological stewardship, and the cultural significance of bison. This experience offers an opportunity to learn from Indigenous approaches to land stewardship and reflect on connections to food systems, sustainability, and place-based learning.
