Abstract	The impact of Residential Schools on Indigenous People has left a long-lasting crippling effect on the subsequent generations of Indigenous youth. The resultant intergenerational loss of identity and self-value has cost the Indigenous People and their communities immensely. Aboriginal People based their education system on the real world around them for centuries and are intrinsically attached to nature. This article investigates the benefits of re-introducing Indigenous youth to a land-based educational system as a means of re-attaching the severed familial and communal ties. The very nature of traditional Land-based education practices such as hunting and gathering form strong bonds between participants and nature, and lays the foundation for interpersonal community relationships. It is believed that, by returning to a land-based teaching approach, Aboriginal communities can be rebuilt. (As Provided).
