In this article there are many examples of decolonization and reinhabitation. The one point that stood out to me the most was the connection to nature and the impacts it has on children’s minds and bodies. Therefore, taking learning outside in the future could help my future students to make a better connection with nature that will benefit them physically, mentally and spiritually. Being open to taking students to many different learning atmospheres is important and can be very beneficial versus always having children learn in their desks. Learning can take place anywhere, and should not only take place in the classroom.
This article also talked a lot about elders. I believe elders play a huge role in our history, as they carry many knowledgeable stories. Children can gain a sense of different cultures and identities. Having children learn about different identities is important for their own well-being. It can help form bonds and relationships by sharing many traits with other individuals.

I think taking students out of the classroom to learn is a great tool and is under appreciated. It gets kids moving and the fresh air alone is good for them. How do you think you would do this? Field trips, walks, scavenger hunts? Do you think you would receive backlash from parents? Maybe parents would be heavily religious and would disapprove of spiritual learning from the land. Just a thought.
