This article reports on a recent study about Outward Bound Canada’s Giwaykiwin program for Aboriginal youth. A key finding that emerged from the study was the need to design contemporary Aboriginal education programs based on a recognition of the evolution of Indigenous cultures and languages in close relationship with specific geographical areas. The implications of these findings are presented for both Aboriginal and nonAboriginal educators interested in incorporating an Aboriginal understanding of place in their practice. Recommendations are also provided for grounding outdoor and environmental education programs in local Indigenous traditions. Cet article rend compte d’une récente étude menée auprès du programme canadien Giwaykiwin « Outward Bound » pour la jeunesse autochtone. Une découverte importante qui est apparue dans l’étude était le besoin de concevoir un programme contemporain d’éducation autochtone basé sur la reconnaissance de l’évolution des cultures et des langues autochtones en étroite relation avec une géographie spécifique. La portée de ces découvertes est présentée à la fois aux éducateurs autochtones et non-autochtones intéressés à inclure une compréhension autochtone du lieu dans leur enseignement. On prévoit aussi des recommandations pour mettre en place des programmes de sensibilisation à l’environnement selon les traditions locales des autochtones. View document
