The Land as Teacher: Integrating Language, Culture, and Curriculum

Presented by Sha’tekayenton Brant

One Dish Project began with a simple question: What happens when language, food, medicines, governance, theatre, environmental stewardship, and community learning are designed to exist together instead of as separate programs?

In this session, Sha’tekayèn:ton Brant shares the ongoing development of One Dish Project as a practical example of what can be built when Indigenous knowledge, community priorities, and available resources guide the work. Participants will explore how the project has grown from an idea into an expanding learning landscape and examine both the successes and the challenges of designing spaces that support language revitalization, food sovereignty, cultural programming, and community education.

Rather than presenting a model to be replicated, this session invites participants to think about what is possible in their own communities. Through stories, planning processes, and practical examples, participants will consider how existing land, infrastructure, partnerships, and community strengths can become the foundation for Indigenous-led learning spaces that reflect their own Nations, languages, and priorities.
