Regular Instructor - Indigenous Land Stewardship

NEC respects the ancestral and unceded territory of the xÊ·mə?kwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. NEC is dedicated to the Peoples of these territories and beyond. We are centering our Nations, one learner at a time. In doing this work collectively, we demonstrate that commitment is more than just showing up. NEC is committed to protecting and upholding the dignity, safety, and identities of our Indigenous learners. We honor traditional values and Indigenous knowledge, fostering learners’ identities, aspirations, and sense of belonging. Our academic programming  and  wrap-around  supports  are  aligned  with  the  Longhouse  Values  of  the  Host  Nations. PositionSummary: The successful instructor will teach courses asynchronous to develop students’ understanding of critical issues involved in Land stewardship and environmental knowledge. Students learn how different world views have developed among Nations in BC and elsewhere, and how Indigenous knowledge systems can be used as tools for better land management.
