Resources
This page includes resources connected to the Prairie Literacies Project, including materials shared through the Following the River Symposium. Additional resources, reflections, and community contributions will continue to be added over time.
Following the River Symposium Resources
These resources invite continued reflection on the relationships between land, water, language, literacy, memory, and place explored during the symposium.
Learn about the rivers
These resources explore the rivers that shape this place and the relationships between water, land, community, and human intervention.
Walking & kinship with the river
This talk introduces the concept of wahkohtowin, or kinship, and invites us to consider our relationships with land, water, and one another.
Carried by rivers, held by lands
This exhibition explores relationships between land, water, and memory, offering another way of understanding how stories and places are connected.
As you read, watch, and explore, consider:
What do you notice, think, wonder, and feel?
What connections are you making to language, literacy, learning, and place?
Symposium Experiences
River Walk
During the symposium, participants walked and wrote along the river, engaging with place through observation, reflection, and conversation.
