The topic of this year’s Myaamia Heritage Course at Miami University is: iiši-kihkeelintamankwi ašiihkiwi neehi iiši-mihtohseeniwiyankwi aatotamankwi ‘Ecological Perspectives and History.’
Over the course of the year, Myaamia students will explore the web of relationships that links humans, animals, plants, landscapes, and other-than-human beings, and the stories that we have told about these interactions over time. We began the semester by comparing time to a pond. We experienced how the impact of stones in a pond changes the water much like how events can change us as individuals and as a community.
