Jim teaches that water is medicine.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Water on the Land<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Children are drawn to stick and water play. They throw stones back to the water, jump in puddles.<\/p>\n<p>They notice turtles on logs, investigate velvety green mosses revived by spring rains and make up stories about muddy animal tracks.<\/p>\n<p>They like drinking wild peppermint tea outdoors, collect water for the vegetable garden and say that water nestled in flower petals are the drinking cups for bees and birds. The children walk with GabeKanang Ziibi flowing alongside the forest trails.<\/p>\n<p>These relationships help children read the stories of what water is teaching them.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, GabeKanang Ziibi and the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/trca.ca\/conservation\/watershed-management\/humber-river\/watershed-features\/\">Humber River watershed<\/a>\u00a0provided the connection between Lake Ontario and the Lake Simcoe\/Georgian Bay regions for the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples.<\/p>\n<p>This territory is also subject to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/trentmagazine.ca\/services-view\/law-land-teyotsihstokwathe-dakota-brant-06-examines-canada-150-plus-video-walrus-talk\/\">The Dish With One Spoon Treaty<\/a>, an agreement between Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Wendat peoples and allied nations.

The children smell the calming scent of the rain-soaked spirit of Wiingashk (sweetgrass) that represents kindness. They learn to respect the spirit of Asin (rocks) that encircle and shelter the garden by not climbing on them.<\/p>\n<p>Nature is not just seen as resource or commodity, but something that engages mind, body, heart and spirit together.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_51929\" style=\"width: 690px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51929\" class=\"size-full wp-image-51929\" src=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/humberriver.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/humberriver.jpeg 680w, https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/humberriver-250x187.jpeg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-51929\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In GabeKanang Ziibi (Humber River), stones and sticks flow with their own stories.

She remembers toes in the pebbled stream, chasing fish into a reclaimed net, cooked over a driftwood fire by mom and eaten on the beach. She recalls growing up without running water and carrying spring water home, drinking from the creeks during play-filled days and running free through the bush along the creeks and down the shores of Georgian Bay. Joanne says:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cBeing respectful of and having respect for water is important. Experiencing and connecting to water in its natural environment is essential for children to develop confidence, master skill and overcome fear. Building a healthy relationship not only with the environment, but with all those who call the land home is crucial as those resources sustain us.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>On a visit to the Humber Arboretum, Joanne teaches us the word \u201cBiimishodisii\u201d (snail in Anishinaabemowin).<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Restoring relationships<\/strong><\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_51928\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51928\" class=\"size-full wp-image-51928\" src=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/storystones.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"340\" height=\"503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/storystones.jpg 340w, https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/storystones-169x250.jpg 169w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 340px) 100vw, 340px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-51928\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Story stones created for sharing the story \u2018The Water Walker\u2019 with children (Bora Kim<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In acknowledging nature as teacher, in our early childhood program, we ask ourselves what we can do to honour our relationships that allow all of Earth\u2019s creations to live in harmony and balance.<\/p>\n<p>We read\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/secondstorypress.ca\/kids\/nibi-emosaawdang-\/-the-water-walker\"><em>Nibi Emosaawdang<\/em> (<em>The Water Walker<\/em>)<\/a>\u00a0about Anishinaabe Elder and Nokomis (grandmother)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fp-6olT0i2A\">Josephine Ba-Mandamin<\/a>\u00a0who walked to protect the waters of the Earth.<\/p>\n<p>We share and draw stories about the water.<\/p>\n<p>In celebration of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/observances\/earth-day\">Earth Day<\/a>, April 22, and as people who have received the gift of land and its resources, we hold the capacity and the responsibility to lead by example in all that we do.<\/p>\n<p>(Re)connecting to land and water is a sensory balm we need,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.seachangedesign.com\/whats-at-risk-part-2-the-mother-wave\/\">the seeds of hope and resilience<\/a>\u00a0through activities like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/davidsuzuki.org\/queen-of-green\/how-to-create-a-butterfly-garden\/\">planting a garden<\/a>, embracing rain\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wowlit.org\/blog\/2019\/09\/30\/water-in-indigenous-childrens-literature\/\">or reading and sharing knowledge<\/a>.
