Learning from Place: A Return to Traditional Mushkegowuk Ways of Knowing
Author: Restoule, Jean-Paul; Gruner, Sheila; Metatawabin, Edmund
ProQuest document link
Abstract: This paper details a research project dedicated to honouring Mushkegowuk Cree concepts of land,
environment and life in Fort Albany First Nation. Community youth interviewed local Elders to produce an audio
documentary about the relations of the people to their traditional territory. These interactions evolved into a 10day river trip with youth, adult and elder participants traveling together on their traditional waters and lands
learning about the meaning of paquataskamik, the Cree word used for traditional territory, all of the
environment, nature, and everything it contains. Bringing generations of community members together on the
land led to reclamation of culture and indigenous knowledge and built greater community resistance to external
forms of economic exploitation and development. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
