Seeking Indigenous knowledge keepers and land-based educators to participate in survey on impacts of COVID-19 on their practices
Our research team, led by Dr. Alex Wilson at the University of Saskatchewan (with Co-Investigator Dr. Kelsey Wrightson, Executive Director, Dechinta Centre for Research & Learning), is studying the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on Indigenous youth who have experienced or are at risk of homelessness. We know that land-based learning, practices and activities are central to the well-being of First Nation youth and other Indigenous people. Questions we’re exploring include:
o How are Indigenous youth who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness keeping themselves safe from COVID-19? And how is the pandemic affecting their ability to meet their daily needs?
o How has the pandemic affected people and organizations that work with these youth?
o How has the pandemic affected you and other Indigenous knowledge keepers and land-based educators? Have you found ways to safely continue your practices?
If you are an Indigenous knowledge keeper or land-based educator, please consider participating in our study by completing a 10-minute online survey. You can go directly to the survey at this link: www.surveymonkey.com/r/LandBasedIndigYouthCovid.
At the end of our study, we’ll share what we learn from you and other participants with people, organizations and government agencies who work with Indigenous youth, so that they can use that knowledge to better meet the needs of Indigenous youth, and the people and organizations that support those youth.
