معلومات عن هذه الحلقة
In this episode of The Forest Understory, Lacey sits down with childhood friend Lisa Murphy to explore her journey from growing up in Labrador, to serving in the Canadian military and deploying to Afghanistan, and later becoming a teacher with a focus on land-based learning.
Lisa reflects on the early experiences that sparked this interest, and how working in northern, primarily Indigenous communities transformed her approach to education. She talks about learning from Elders and Indigenous knowledge holders, and bringing students onto the land through activities such as hunting, trapping and berry picking.
Through stories of students gaining confidence and a deeper connection to land and community, Lisa reflects on the lasting impact of teachers and outdoor experiences - and what the land can teach us when we take the time to listen.
This episode was recorded and edited on the traditional, unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabe people.
