In January, we held our first Environmental Education Learning & Networking Series, featuring a presentation on the newly released Fire Ecology and the Human Relationship Curriculum, produced by the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians and written by Vesper Meadow Education Program. The Oregon-centric 4th - 10th grade curriculum helps teachers and students explore fire and its connections with Traditional Ecological Knowledge, biodiversity, land-use history, climate change, and social impacts. Primarily science-based and aligned to NGSS standards, lessons can fulfill other subject areas and are infused with art, historical references, creative writing, geography, and even social media. Jeanine Moy, Director of Vesper Meadow, and Joe Scott, Traditional Ecology Inquiry Program Director (TEIP), shared their experiences collaborating to develop, share, and integrate the curriculum into their programs.
