Abstract	By recognizing opportunities to engage in outdoor experiences, provide subsistence, and foster an environmental ethic, all in their own communities, students might become more inclined to advocate for environmentally sustainable activities in their own regions. This author believes that fishing can aid in fostering a certain ethical view of the environment. It allows participants to carry themselves into the world in a creative way that not only foregrounds Indigenous ways of knowing but also allows for a certain connection to be made with nature. Because fishing can be both a meditative practice and one of subsistence, it might prove valuable to the fostering of connection to the natural world and to alternative ways of knowing for students. Granted, fishing is only one of these opportunities and may not be for everyone. The author challenges readers to find something in their own community that engages students in the environment for a specific purpose and recognizes alternative ways of knowing.
