Résumé

En l'honneur de l'endroit que nous visitions, Marleen s'est réveillé tôt le matin pour récupérer de l'eau du Grand Lac voisin, et nous avons créé un autel de fortune composé de fleurs fraîches et de rebozos. Nous avons ouvert le cercle avec une chanson sur l'Eau sacrée, puis sommes passés aux introductions : "S'il vous plaît, partagez votre nom, vos pronoms et quelles Eaux quelles eaux vous semblent être votre foyer. »

Certaines personnes ont choisi des lacs, des océans, des rivières, d'autres ont partagé un nom en anglais, d'autres ont nommé leurs Eaux d’origine d'après leurs langues ancestrales. En tant que collectif, nous avons pris une profonde inspiration et nous sommes plongés dans nos corps et dans des manières relationnelles de connaître et d'être en communauté. Nous étions prêts à commencer.

En tant qu’éducateurs autochtones, nous sommes responsables et capables de répondre (Kuokkanen, 2007) envers nos communautés d’origine, envers nos parents humains et plus qu’humains (Nxumalo & Villanueva, 2020) et les uns envers les autres pour suivre les protocoles culturels qui nous préparent à notre travail. Içi, nous réfléchissons à nos parcours d’apprentissage, discutons de nos rôles, et proposons trois exemples de travaux en cours axés sur l’Eau.
