This graduate-level course explores the interconnectedness of the Wabanaki worldview and water stewardship. Students will hear about, and experience, traditional Wabanaki ecological knowledge systems, Indigenous governance structures, and the impacts of colonialism on water resources. The course will emphasize Indigenous learning methods and decolonizing approaches to environmental stewardship, culminating in the development of actionable strategies for integrating Two-Eyed Seeing into source water protection grounded in Indigenous knowledge and values. This will be achieved through land-based learning and hearing from Wabanaki knowledge holders
