Learning about Learning: A Community-Based Approach to Childhood Pottery Making in Partnership with the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation (WGF - Post PhD Research Grant)

Part of the Wenner-Gren Foundation Grant Application Collection Metadata (DRAFT) project

Author(s): Steven Dorland

Year: 2021

Summary

This resource is an application for the Post PhD Research Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation.

This project is grounded in a partnership with the Mississaugas of the Credit First nation to apply community-based archaeology in southern Ontario that focusses on learning about learning. There are two main goal of this project. First, we plan to bring together Indigenous methodologies and archaeological study to teach youths how to learn ancestral pottery making. This involves the integration of Anishinaabe ways of doing and being, centered primarily on intergenerational knowledge sharing through community stories, teachings, ceremonies, and land-based learning. Second, we will will develop capacity building for community youths that bring together Indigenous methodologies and technical skills related to material culture analysis. Youths will learn how to study childhood learning of their past ancestors and to contribute to the development of community led heritage preservation initiatives.
