Consulting

Mkomose is a dynamic consultant. As an Anishinaabe scholar, educator, and knowledge keeper who focuses on Indigenous knowledge systems, land-based education, and environmental stewardship, he offers an important perspective that can enhance various projects.  He dedicates much of his work to reviving traditional ecological knowledge and fostering a deeper connection between people and the natural world. He is an advocate for the restoration of Indigenous food systems and medicines, which ties into his broader efforts around environmental education and sustainability.

Key Consulting Areas:

Indigenous and Anishinaabe Cultural Knowledge and Land Sustainability: Mkomose is an advocate for integrating Indigenous and Anishinaabe cultural knowledge systems, particularly around environmental practices, into modern sustainability efforts. He often works with communities to promote land-based education, particularly in the context of environmental and cultural restoration and stewardship. His land design work is being implemented in Souther Ontario and he has also been a seed keeper for over a decade.

Academia: My research focuses on healing, knowledge transmission, and the role of ceremony in maintaining ecological balance. I have spoken widely on the need to reconnect with traditional Anishinaabe land practices to address modern environmental challenges.

Cultural Leadership: As a knowledge keeper, Mkomose is involved in ceremonial practices and healing within and beyond his community, working to preserve and pass down Anishinaabe teachings to future generations. His work emphasizes the importance of traditional stories, ceremonies, and land restoration practices for building and sustaining relationships with the land.
