‘Land-based’ learning online? How one U of T professor reimagined a ground-breaking course amid COVID-19

But it took just two-and-a-half weeks for Mashford-Pringle to work out a new, online format for the course. What emerged included plenty of holistic, community-building discussion and an increased emphasis on each student’s personal relationship with the land they live on.

“I think that’s something we might miss online, building those connections. She did it incredibly well and it’s something I’d really like to carry over into my courses.”

During pandemic, crisis line more essential than ever

“Community-driven, culturally appropriate and timely mental health supports are critical to promote the well-being for anyone struggling to cope with the added stress and anxiety the COVID-19 pandemic has created.”

KUU-US crisis line is one example of culturally relevant services that could benefit from this type of support. 

“Our hope regarding the government’s announcement [is] to help Indigenous people struggling with the effects of COVID-19, and that these supports include cultural and traditional services to meet the needs of youth, families and Elders,” Deutsch says.

The pandemic has led Indigenous pageant queens or tribal ambassadors like Parrish to redefine their duties.
