ašiihkiwi neehi kiišikwi ‘Earth and Sky’

About this theme

We will look at Myaamionki as a three-dimensional space that includes the earth and the sky. We will follow the movement of nipi ‘water’ in order to explore the connections, cycles, and dependencies that link all of the elements in and on the earth and in the sky. From this experience, participants develop a better understanding of the responsibility we bear for our actions in Myaamionki.
