🌿 Learning from the land is one of the oldest classrooms we have.

Every year around this time, wagigųs Michelle Free-LaMere and the Ho-Chunk Dual Language Immersion Classroom harvest sage that will be used throughout the school year for school-wide blessings.

This is what Indigenous-based education looks like, students learning not only what to harvest, but when, how, and why. They learn that medicines are living relatives, that harvesting comes with responsibility, gratitude, and respect, and that caring for the land ensures it will continue to care for future generations.

When our children learn these teachings alongside our language and culture, they strengthen their identity, deepen their connection to community, and carry forward knowledge that has sustained our people since time immemorial.

A heartfelt thank you to Michelle for the invitation and for the incredible work you do every day to ensure these teachings continue to be passed on to the next generation. 💚
