This study will examine the development of our place using these 3 dimensions from our past, present and into the future. View project Environmental Inequity (People) The students will plant and build a natural shelter made with bendable live branches of willow trees. This will be place close to the first nation garden build last year. The students will plant small willow trees. The tall branches will be bent and shaped into a shelter looking like a longhouse. The idea is to build a longhouse next to the first nation garden that the students build last year and the pine tree (the peace tree of the Iroquoiens) that was planted.
