I’m always amazed by how much knowledge is held in

I’m always amazed by how much knowledge is held in the landscapes we walk through every day.

Camas fields, salmonberry bushes, nettle patches, and coastal roses are not just plants we pass by...they have long histories and relationships connected to food, materials, ecosystems, and community.

A few important reminders when learning about Indigenous plant knowledge:�

🌿 Plant relationships and teachings are specific to Nations and communities�
🌿 Traditional knowledge is connected to place, responsibility, and stewardship�
🌿 Learning about a plant is more than learning what it can be used for

Swipe through to learn about a few plants you may recognize from the coast. Do you recognize any of them?

I know these probably won't end up on anyone's trend forecast, but they should 😆

More time outside. More curiosity. More connection to the places we live. Maybe I'm just getting older 😂

What would you add to the list?

Things We May Not Know Part 3 📖

Some of us may have learned a very simplified version of treaties in school, some of us didn't learn about them at all.

Treaties are more than historical documents. They are agreements that continue to shape relationships, rights, and responsibilities in Canada today. Understanding them is an important part of understanding the history of the land we live on and the ongoing relationship between Indigenous Nations and governments.

This carousel shares a few things you may not know about treaties as a starting point for learning.

📚 I'd love to hear what stood out to you in the comments!

I started bird watching because I thought it could

I started bird watching because I thought it could be a fun hobby. I didn't expect it to change how I pay attention to things around me.

Now I find myself stopping to listen for sounds I don't recognize, looking a little longer at movement in the trees or noticing things I would have walked right past before.

It's funny how much is happening around us all the time, we just don't always notice it.

I also love that this is something kids naturally do so well. They stop, they look closely and they ask questions about everything.

Maybe we could all use a little more of that 🐦

Black bears are really interesting animals, from their incredible memory to their ability to adapt to so many different environments. They are a good reminder that there is always more happening around us than we notice at first glance. Have you ever spotted a black bear in the wild?

I've been thinking about how often learning happen

I've been thinking about how often learning happens without us even calling it learning.

A walk where you notice the hugest puddle ever, picking berries and learning when they're ready. Spending time near the water and starting to recognize the patterns of the seasons.

For many Indigenous communities, knowledge has always been deeply connected to relationships with the land, water, plants, and the seasons. Learning is built through observing, participating, and being connected to the places around us.

A good reminder that learning doesn't only happen inside four walls.

What's something the land has taught you lately? ☀️🌊
