Although the field of environmental studies has grown consistently over the past 50 years in Canada, it still remains distanced from Indigenous cultures, resulting in a lopsided and biased understanding of Indigenous knowledges. Haudenosaunee tradition configured the first treaty in North America, the Two Row Wampum, which is based on the principle...
Plains horse culture began after horses returned from their Asian, Ice Age diaspora with the Ponce De Leon expedition. Despite significant traditions of movement in making environmental knowledge, environmental studies overvalue settlement and its habituations.

... 3 While we are responding to the Western philosophical tradition in this paper, this is not to assume that this is the only discourse available to us, or the only means by which we can think of or relate to nonhuman animals. Aboriginal epistemologies, for example, offer perspectives and stories that transcend anthropocentrism, blur the divide between humans and other animals, value relationships over dichotomies, and see all of nature as infused with spirit and consciousness to form part of a larger, animate whole (e.g., Cheney, 2002;Cruikshank, 2004;Sheridan, 2001).

Indigenous students face systemic challenges to their learning due to the historical and cultural irrelevance of current curricula, in addition to the longlasting effects of colonization, such as intergenerational trauma, poverty and identity confusion (Assembly of First Nations; 2011; Hare & Pidgeon, 2011;Kanu, 2007;St. ...
... From creation stories to the concept of the interconnectedness of all things, Indigenous peoples embody socio-cultural earth-based ethics and values that inform daily ceremonial and sustainability practices relating to ecological management as well as social, familial, and intimate relationships. Indigenous scholars and community members developed conceptual frameworks, such as Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) (Pierotti & Wildcat, 2000), Sacred Ecology (Sheridan & Longboat, 2006), and Indigenous Knowledge (IK) (Simpson, 2004), that considers the fundamental care and sophisticated understanding of the relationship between humans and the rest of creation (Pierotti & Wildcat, 2000;Simpson, 2004). For this paper, we will focus on incorporating IK into practices within social work classrooms, field, and research. ...
