This capstone project embarks on a comprehensive and critical synthesis review of existing academic literature, centered on land-based learning. The focus is on its implications for schools, land, and students in T’Sou-ke territory. The goal is to develop a framework and a set of recommendations to seamlessly integrate land-based principles into the culture and pedagogy of Journey Middle School. Land-based learning is posited as a potent catalyst for decolonization, uplifting Indigenous culture, language, and identity while challenging Eurocentric, capitalist perspectives of the land. By reconnecting students with the land, language, knowledge, community, and story, this approach aims to enhance the holistic success of Indigenous students who have long endured the negative effects of settler colonialism, institutionalized racism, and a colonial education system.
