font-family:Arial">This course will help you envision how Indigenous histories, perspectives, worldviews, and approaches to learning can be made part of the work we do in classrooms,
organizations, communities, and our everyday experiences in ways that are thoughtful and respectful. In this course, reconciliation emphasizes changing institutional structures, practices, and policies, as well as personal and professional ideologies to create

all learners to develop their knowledge and understanding of Indigenous peoplešs worldviews and cultures as a basis for creating equitable and inclusive learning spaces. To support these goals, teachers, administrators, young people, school staff, and researchers
will learn from Indigenous Elders, educational leaders, and culturally relevant learning resources as part of their experiences in this MOOC.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial">This six (6) credit Peru Summer Institute: Ecology, Technology & Indigeneity in the High Amazon offers an intensive three-week program of study consisting of two integrated courses:
<i>Ecology, Technology, and Indigeneity in the High Amazon</i>, and <i>Narrativity, Indigenous Ecoliteracies and Ecopedagogies in the High Amazon.</i></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial">Through a combination of seminars at Sachamama and immersion learning in a local Kichwa-Lamista community, students will engage mind, body, heart and spirit as they experience
worldviews, knowings, and community practices that value other than global capital and geopolitical systems. Students will reciprocate by doing hands-on service work at Sachamama and in the Kichwa-Lamista community as part of their coursework. It is anticipated
that the exchanges with the Kichwa-Lamista continue beyond the Peru Summer Institute enacting sustained intercultural solidarity-building toward a more just and sustainable world.</span></p>
