A further implication of this dissertation is the importance of supporting Indigenous, Black, and racialized young people in building and sustaining relationships with lands and waters. Across the study, lands and waters emerged as some of the safest and most grounding spaces young people spoke about. Importantly, connection to lands does not only mean returning to one specific place. As young people in this study demonstrated, relationships with lands can take many forms, including connections to the lands they live on, the places they come from, the places they long to return to, and even relationships to ancestral lands carried through memory across experiences of migration and displacement. For some, it may mean visiting home, returning to their language, or learning family histories. For others, it may mean spending time outdoors, gardening, shooting hoops, or walking by or in a body of water. As such, adults who work with and care for youth should consider how relationships with lands and waters can become part of grief support and collective care practices. Sometimes connection can begin in very small ways: drinking water slowly, sitting beside water, swimming, listening to waves, or allowing the body to feel held by water, even momentarily.
