All educators are invited to join NWP Indigenous Services for four engaging and insightful sessions, which will unpack the essential elements of Braiding Sweetgrass for Young Adults.

The sessions will be facilitated by award-winning, best-selling Indigenous author Monique Gray Smith, who adapted Robin Wall Kimmerer’s New York Times best-seller, Braiding Sweetgrass, for a new generation of readers.

Robin Wall Kimmerer will join us virtually for the first session of this course.

Monique & Robin will take us on a learning journey, exploring the 6 sections of the book and the chapters within each of them, including key content for classroom and school use.

In each session, we will attend to:

  • Indigenous wisdom
  • Teaching of the Plants
  • Scientific Knowledge
  • History and Social and Emotional Wellness
  • The reflection questions, calls to action and beautiful illustrations by Nicole Neidhardt.
