Doucette, C., Ransom, P., & Kowalewski, D. (2006). Ethno-ecological education: Aboriginals teaching nature at a winter camp in the Canadian Arctic. Australian Journal of Outdoor Education, 10(2), 62-68. https://search.informit.org/doi/epdf/10.3316/aeipt.157854

This article promotes the contributions that can be made to environmentalism by aboriginal peoples. It is about overcoming the problem of the apparent inaccessibility of aboriginal knowledge (oral stories in aboriginal language /physical remoteness) by treating aboriginals as eco- encyclopedias that need opening. The article describes a program developed in a Canadian High School, which uses indigenous leaders to teach their students at a winter camp in the Canadian arctic. The program exposes students to a range of modern and traditional practices essential to living in such harsh winter conditions learning directly from aboriginal teachers. Rather than disprivileging traditional ways as backward and irrelevant for today, the camp brings the aboriginal instructors to the forefront as mentors who have something not only useful, but necessary, to teach.
