Among Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples alike, the issue of “Nature Deficit Disorder” and the prevalence of digital devices in young peoples’ lives continues to be a concern and challenge. Land-based learning provides engaging opportunities for enhancing students’ sense of connection with nature and place, as well as Indigenous ways of knowing and technologies, that tend to be favorably received by all ages. This presentation offers insights gained from 3 years of teaching UB courses in this subject, while also drawing upon the presenter’s previous research in this important educational realm.
