AR IndigiTRAILS
This resource is a powerful experience that provides land-based AR experience for others. While individuals explore Treaty 7 land in Mohkinstis they also get to use an app to follow a path of learning. This immersive experience opens one’s minds to Indigenous stories of youth today and to learn from our past histories. I find this to be a valuable tool as it gets people to explore the outdoors while learning. We know that Indigenous Knowledge is land-based so this digital tool compliments the idea to get people outside to connect to the land.
As an educator this would be an engaging lesson for students as they would be able to explore the land while connecting to stories. It also makes me wonder how students could create their own tours? Or would that be disrespectful to the authentic voices who shared their expertise to design these experiences? Maybe the purpose of the IndigiTRAILS is to embrace the knowledge that you can learn from these experiences.
