"Nutr raasin aahkikinwaa (Our roots are growing)" explores the importance of planting and harvesting in Métis culture. Whether you are new to gardening or looking to learn more about harvesting practices, this video provides guidance on planting the seeds included in the gardening package while sharing cultural knowledge from a Métis Elder, a Métis herbalist, and a pedagogist.

The gardening packages are part of the MNBC Ministry of Education's Métis Family Connections (MFC) program that helps families build a network of support that provides children with opportunities for early learning and cultural connections.
