  • Chapter 5 Keepers of the Circle Learning Centre: Kirkland Lake and Temiskaming Shores, Ontario by Ronda Guenette, Lisa Sloan, Fiona Traynor, and Arlene Haché
    Chapter 5 Keepers of the Circle Learning Centre: Kirkland Lake and Temiskaming Shores, Ontario by Ronda Guenette, Lisa Sloan, Fiona Traynor, and Arlene Haché Land, known as mother earth, is not a metaphor…earth is a being, a source of life that gives birth to all living creatures and sustains the life of her children…land is a place of birth, growth and development, and death. Land and formal education share important characteristics. Both provide a focus for livelihood and survival, sustain life, validate the individual and assure the future.25 (Keith Basso, Wisdom Sits in Place) This report provides an overview of intervention methods used by Keepers of the Circle, an Indigenous Hub situated in the District of Temiskaming in Northern Ontario. Keepers of the Circle operates two centres, one at each end of the District: one in Kirkland Lake and one in Temiskaming Shores. Each offers early learning and family support programming and childcare. Both use similar Indigenous cultural and land-based interventions with children aged 0–12 years, although for this project access to the on- the-land component was restricted to children aged 4 years and older. Beginning in fall 2019, children aged 2 ½ and older will be involved in on-the-land programming.
