Picking Berries by Jerry Lipka
This book series explicitly applies curriculum expectations to Indigenous knowledge, specifically Northern Indigenous groups. The kits and activities emphasize multi-modal and multi-sensory learning experiences where students combine storytelling, experimentation, and sensory exploration. Because it is written by American authors, the books and resources do not directly align with provincial curriculums, so it’s worth reading them all and seeing what matches your regional expectations!
