The proposed research examines how access to land in urban environments can sustain Indigenous cultural practices, land-based ways of learning, contribute to cultural and social sustainability, and support the health and wellbeing of Indigenous people and others. Also, it explores how urban Indigenous spaces can be considered as multidimensional environments to strengthening Indigenous relationships and healthful pathways, and provide safe learning environments for the urban community to embrace biocultural diversity and respect for nature. We ask Indigenous land-based pedagogies can be used to advance education, support reconciliation efforts, and sustain the mobilization of Indigenous knowledge in urban environments.
