Walking Trails Connected to the Thirteen Moons

image of Walking Trails Connected to the Thirteen Moons

Following teachings of the 13-moons, this chapter shares learning from a series of walks within Nose Hill Park where I seek to better understand my rights and responsibilities as a treaty relative. Through doing, I share a map-making process that emerged and provided metaphors to support unlearning the grid map. I conclude by offering some pedagogical meaning of these learnings as I carry them forward with a commitment to teach and live more responsibly in relation to earthly kin.

Keywords: 13-moons ; connections ; holism ; kinship ; mapping ; relationship ; roles & resonsibilities ; treaty ; unlearning ; walking
