Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity hosted a panel of Indigenous academics to discuss the similarities and differences between Indigenous knowledge and western science. The link to the picture below will take you to the website.
Look to the Mountain is a metaphor. “We need to observe history (the path you come from), understand the present (the top of the mountain), and look at possibilities of the future (the things you can see) with the idea of spirit and resonance, a participation of the world that indigenous people have always had” (Cajete, 2014).
