Indigenous Perspectives in Science M2P1

I found this through my district’s Indigenous teaching resources and it makes a great connection to science 6 and the body systems. This gets us to connect our body systems to that of a bear which really reminds me of Dr Lee Brown’s interview were he talks about the idea of “all my relations” and the Indigenous perspective that we are all connected, and that we are all connected to the land. It’s got other resources in it including regarding Climate which would be perfect for Science 7.

All My Relations – mod 1 post 2

This was a tradition that was first brought to my attention after watching Dr. Lee Brown’s interview and it made me search for some other information about the idea. This article created by the government of Alberta speaks to this phrase “all my relations” and also describes some other general commonalities in traditions and beliefs by some various Indigenous peoples. It is limited in that it doesn’t give specifics of each tribe, but has the value of comparing and showing commonalities between them.
