It\u2019s impossible to teach someone how to build a deer-skin drum over Zoom. \u201cJust feel the string,\u201d says Oshkabewis (Anishnaabemowin:\u00a0helper<\/em>), Healer and Elder James Carpenter (Grey Cloud) as he passes around a drum with a newly attached sinew dangling from the back, \u201cyou can feel how taught it needs to be.\u201d This summer, as pandemic restrictions were lifted, a group of Indigenous youth joined Carpenter at Artscape Gibraltar Point on the Toronto Islands for cultural teachings.<\/p>\n

Healing a flooded valley<\/h2>\n

The program I have been invited to join, Nikibii Dawadinna Giigwag<\/a> (Anishnaabemowin: flooded valley healing<\/em>) is a unique pathway to postsecondary education at the University of Toronto’s John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design<\/a>, that weaves together Elder-led cultural teachings with landscape architecture and environmental conservation field work. The youth are employed for seven weeks over the summer by the Daniels Faculty to work on landscape architecture and planting design projects with partners like the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and Evergreen Brickworks. They are trained and mentored by landscape architects, ecologists, Elders and Knowledge Keepers. \"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe teachings, culture, and landscape architecture, they really interweave them together,\u201d says Dan, one of the program hires, when I ask him what makes the program unique. \u201cWith this program you can be in a position of power and still be a land protector,\u201d he says. \u201cI think of all our relations\u2026 instead of just us, the two-legged, I\u2019d think of how what I\u2019m building benefits everything around the community,\u201d he says about how his perspective on landscape architecture has shifted, \u201cit really makes you think about the land on a whole new level.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shifting perspectives<\/h2>\n

Cultural teachings throughout the summer program are often provided by one of the programs founders, Whabagoon<\/a>, Ojibwe Elder, Keeper of Sacred Pipes, who sits with the Loon Clan. \u201cIt\u2019s about the spiritual connection to the land,\u201d she says when I ask her how an Indigenous perspective might inform new approaches to landscape architecture. \u201cYou have to have the patience and love. It\u2019s an ongoing relationship that you have to build with the land.\u201d<\/p>\n

Making their own drums, for example, is a way for students to connect with the land. \u201cThat beat is mother Earth\u2019s heartbeat,\u201d she says, beating out a simple rhythm on her drum, \u201cit\u2019s our heartbeat.\u201d The drums encourages us to think of the natural rhythms of the landscape and how players are connected to the Earth. \u201cI\u2019m hoping that these drums will be the start of their path or be a helper along their path,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This kind of shift in thinking is exactly what Terence Radford<\/a>, a mentor in the program and one of only two Indigenous landscape architects in the country, hopes to see. \u201cIt dramatically changes the program if we include Indigenous perspectives,\u201d he says, about existing design curricula at Canadian Universities.<\/p>\n

Programs like Nikibii Dawadinna Giigwag ask us to reconsider the relationship between people and land at a fundamental level. \u201cThe world is in a lot of pain right now,\u201d chimes in Stefan Herda, a Master of Landscape Architecture student at Daniels who acts as a mentor to the youth. \u201cWe need to start looking at more traditional ecological knowledge as a guiding principle on how we approach and tackle climate change and other issues,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

This shift in perspective is being noticed in the field. Previous alumni from the program have been hired as design interns by architecture firms such as Brook McIlroy Indigenous Design Studio<\/a> because of their training in integrating cultural values and practices with design. I talked to Sonia, now 18, who was first hired at Nikibii Dawadinna Giigwag when she was 15. As one of the only Indigenous kids growing up in a small town North of Toronto, Sonia says that she grew up disconnected from her culture. \u201cI would never have known any of this stuff,\u201d she says, \u201cbeing so connected to Indigenous culture and having teachings from an Elder.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pathways to postsecondary education<\/h2>\n

Two years ago, Sonia had a hand in designing a discovery garden with mentors at the TRCA in a park just steps from her house in her hometown. The youth researched what kinds of plants would be ecologically appropriate and allow for people to reconnect with Indigenous botanical teachings. \u201cWe had the four directional stones in the garden and we had medicinal plants to turn it into a healing garden,\u201d says Sonia. Now she can bring friends and family to the garden to show them what she has been working on. Her experiences inspired her to enroll in Indigenous Environmental Studies at Trent University next year. Her work in the program \u201cled me to this path,\u201d she says, \u201cthere\u2019s so many things you get opened up to. It totally changes you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Kate, another three-year veteran, tells me that the Nikibii Dawadinna Giigwag network \u201cfeels like family.\u201d \u201cI feel really connected to everyone,\u201d she says, explaining how her confidence has inspired her to enroll at St. Lawrence College next year for Fitness and Health. Her friend Emma will be starting at Queens to study Psychology. I ask Emma to describe her favourite moment from the past three years and what follows is a long pause. \u201cIt\u2019s not just one thing you can pick,\u201d she finally says, \u201cthere\u2019s just so many things that leave a mark on what we do and who we are as a person.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although the programming includes guest visits from academic researchers, design professionals and Indigenous Elders, the structure is specifically designed to be non-hierarchical. Liat Margolis<\/a>, the Nikibii Dawadinna Giigwag Program Lead and Director of the Master of Landscape Architecture Program at Daniels, describes a growing circle of artists, architects, healers, Elders, Knowledge Keepers, language speakers, gardeners, chefs, biologists, urban foresters, and environmental conservationists who together create an informal network of learning and support for the youth. \u201cIt\u2019s a community that\u2019s forming,\u201d she says. \u201cPeople that meet begin to form their own circles, their own initiatives,\u201d she says, \u201cthe Nikibii Dawadinna Giigwag program has so many indirect positive impacts that go beyond its original intention.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whabagoon describes a similar, non-hierarchical educational model. \u201cLearning, for me, is not a hierarchy, it\u2019s a path,\u201d she says, \u201cWe\u2019re all on the same path but we\u2019re at different places. My job as an Elder is to look at each student to see where they are and what they need.\u201d<\/p>\n

Margolis is also looking for ways to decolonize the landscape architecture curriculum at Daniels and bring these teaching practices to the school. She tells me about a teaching from an Elder last year that prompted her to reconsider how Daniels could teach plant knowledge and plant partnerships. Together with the youth in the program, \u201cwe started to think about botanical drawings in a different way, which then feeds into the graduate program I teach,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

The youth will lead<\/h2>\n

Now that Nikibii Dawadinna Giigwag is in its fourth year, it is considering how to create an opportunity for youth to return as mentors and guest speakers for future cohorts. \u201cThese are the future instructors of the program right here!\u201d says Herda as he sees me interviewing Kate and Emma. Later on, Herda explains his enthusiasm: \u201cthis is the way knowledge passes on from one generation to the next.\u201d Margolis is also eager to embrace the possibilities of a strong alumni network. \u201cFirst we started with an intergenerational model,\u201d says Margolis, \u201cand now we\u2019re moving to intragenerational teachings.\u201d Both Elder Whabagoon and Oshkabewis Carpenter speak of the drums we are making as \u201cgrandmother\u201d or \u201cgrandfather\u201d \u2014 ancestral connections that reach back generations.<\/p>\n

Looking back on the success of this summer\u2019s program, Elder Whabagoon sounds hopeful. \u201cThe youth will be the ones that lead us to where we need to go,\u201d she says. Through their positions with the University and their work with partner organizations and mentors, the youth have learned that their presence and voices are valued and they develop the confidence to pursue their ideas. \u201cThis program makes you think you can do it,\u201d confirms Dan, \u201cthey put a lot of belief in you. It\u2019s how you see yourself grow too\u2026 that\u2019s when the belief starts to kicks in, the idea that \u2018I can actually do this.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
