Summer Teachings

Throughout my time working with White Owl this summer I’ve learned so much. I learned more about Indigenous cultures as well as gardening skills and how to identify plants and their names much better. Even though we were technically working at times I felt that I wasn’t, because I was enjoying myself and strengthening my connection with the Land and the plants; getting to know them more and more with each weed picked. We also took many trips to different gardens to help, and it always felt like a very safe and awesome community. I’m so glad that I got to work with everyone at White Owl and Wisahkotewinowak this summer and I’m very grateful for all the new knowledge I’ve gained with this job.
