Educational Resources

Turtle Island Conservation offers educational materials in Mohawk and Ojibway languages, supporting conservation and cultural education.

Available Resources:

• Species Identifiers - Mohawk and Ojibway
• Frog Calls of Ontario CD - Mohawk & Ojibway
• Turtle Crossing signs - Mohawk & Ojibway
• The Ways of Knowing Guide: Earth's Teaching
• Walking with Miskwaadesi Curriculum

The educational resources we produce preserve knowledge inherent in language-based materials to promote stewardship and conservation, especially for Species at Risk.

We explore the relevance of Traditional Knowledge in teaching sustainable relationships with the environment. This includes the importance of connecting with the land and its inhabitants on spiritual, emotional, physical, and mental levels to guide conservation practices.

By integrating language, art, and crafts, these resources contribute to sustaining traditional ways of knowing and living while promoting stewardship and conservation.
