As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. In \u003cem\u003eBraiding Sweetgrass\u003c\/em\u003e, Kimmerer brings these two lenses of knowledge together to take us on “a journey that is every bit as mythic as it is scientific, as sacred as it is historical, as clever as it is wise” (Elizabeth Gilbert).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Drawing on her life as an indigenous scientist, and as a woman, Kimmerer shows how other living beings―asters and goldenrod, strawberries and squash, salamanders, algae, and sweetgrass―offer us gifts and lessons, even if we've forgotten how to hear their voices. In reflections that range from the creation of Turtle Island to the forces that threaten its flourishing today, she circles toward a central argument: that the awakening of ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgment and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world. For only when we can hear the languages of other beings will we be capable of understanding the generosity of the earth, and learn to give our own gifts in return. - from Amazon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e978-1-57131-356-0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTags: Indigenous, Nature, Outdoor, Diversity, Curriculum \u0026amp; Instruction, Early Childhood, Early Childhood Education, Early Childhood Education Materials, Education \u0026amp; Teaching, Education Theory, Education, Empowerment, Educational Tools, \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CompassLibrary","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39580697755828,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/7385\/5156\/products\/518pT9D3BDL.jpg?v=1618234787"},{"product_id":"decolonizing-place-in-early-childhood-education-indigenous-and-decolonizing-studies-in-education","title":"Decolonizing Place in Early Childhood Education (Indigenous and Decolonizing Studies in Education)","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAuthor:   Fikile Nxumalo  Publisher: Routledge  Date: 2019\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDescription: This book draws attention to the urgent need for early childhood education to critically encounter and pedagogically respond to the entanglements of environmentally damaged places, anti-blackness, and settler colonial legacies. Drawing from the author’s multi-year participatory action research with educators and children in suburban settings, the book highlights Indigenous presences and land relations within ongoing settler colonialism as necessary, yet often ignored, aspects of environmental education. Chapters discuss topics such as: geotheorizing in a capitalist society, absences of Black place relations, and unsettling unquestioned Western assumptions about nature education. Rather than offer prescriptive solutions, this book works to broaden possibilities and bolster the conversation among teachers and scholars concerned with early years environmental education. - from Amazon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN-10 :\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1138384534   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN-13 :\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e978-1138384538\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTags: Early Childhood Education, Education, Early Childhood, Educational Tools, Indigenous, Nature, Outdoor, Anti-Bias, Bias, Racial Identity, Racism, Inclusive Education, Advocacy, Book Study, Education \u0026amp; Teaching, Empathy, General, Inclusive Education, Multi Culture, Outdoor, Racial Identity, Racism, Resources\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3\/3\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CompassLibrary","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39580700704948,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/7385\/5156\/products\/51w4g_8kBML.jpg?v=1618242042"},{"product_id":"fry-bread-a-native-american-family-story","title":"Fry Bread: A Native American Family Story","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAuthor: Kevin Noble Maillard   Publisher: Roaring Brook Press  Date: 2019\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDescription:  \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTold in lively and powerful verse by debut author Kevin Noble Maillard, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFry Bread\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eis an evocative depiction of a modern Native American family, vibrantly illustrated by Pura Belpre Award winner and Caldecott Honoree Juana Martinez-Neal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFry bread is food\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is warm and delicious, piled high on a plate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFry bread is time.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt brings families together for meals and new memories.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFry bread is nation.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is shared by many, from coast to coast and beyond.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFry bread is us.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is a celebration of old and new, traditional and modern, similarity and difference.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN-10 :\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1626727465   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN-13 :\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e978-1626727465\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTags: Diversity, Racial Identity, Indigenous, Children's Book, Inclusive Education, Similarity\/Differences, Family Structures, Parenting \u0026amp; Relationships, Culture and Language, Early Childhood, Early Childhood Education, Multi Culture, Multicultural, \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CompassLibrary","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39580704047284,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/7385\/5156\/products\/51G-oqKlXGL._SL160.jpg?v=1618271661"},{"product_id":"lessons-from-turtle-island-native-curriculum-in-early-childhood-classrooms","title":"Lessons from Turtle Island: Native Curriculum in Early Childhood Classrooms","description":"\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Guy W.

Though she is faced with repeated obstacles, Nibi's joyful and determined energy becomes a catalyst for change and action as her community, and then in widening circles the country and government, rally around her to make clean drinking water available for all. In a story perfectly levelled for young readers, there is a strong underlying message that even when a problem seems too large to face, every bit that everyone does helps. And inaction in the face of a wrong is not an option.\n\nSunshine Tenasco, an Anishinabeg activist for clean water, has an amazing optimistic spirit that shines through her writing. The hopeful tone and lyrical read-aloud quality of this gentle allegorical tale open the door to conversations and action aimed at young children, whether they are on a reserve that does not have clean water or they are living with access to clean water.
