About the Author:

Dr. Hopi Lovell Martin is a Waabizheshii Oskaabewis (Ojibwe Marten Clan Ceremonial Helper, Messenger, and Fire Keeper) with a PhD in developmental psychology and education. After twenty years of teaching kindergarten and outdoor education in the public school system, he returned to school to address his Lenni Lenape, Briton, and European ancestries and the lack of Indigenous Knowledge in his experience of western school systems. Through the combined experiences of apprenticeship to his Ojibwe Aunt and Traditional Teacher Jacque(line) Lavallée from Shawanaga First Nation and graduate studies in early years education, he has come to share specific teachings of a Seasonal Pedagogy that sit at the “edge of the bush” between Indigenous and western knowledges that support the remembrance of our shared responsibilities and relationships to Mother Earth vital to the education young children.
