This Worldwide Science.org website provides a number of resources that relate to Indigenous technology education. While the resources are predominantly from the United States, Mexico, and Sweden, they were a great start to better understand some of potential research areas that we can consider such as:
- Language and heritage revitalization
- Usage of technology in education
- Integrating Indigenous science and technology
- Globalization
- Indigenous knowledge driving technological innovation
If you are interested, there is one Canadian study by Catherine E. Gordon in the list that relates to Indigenous educational attainment in Canada.

The “In Our Own Words for Web” online manual developed by the First Nationals Education Steering Committee is an impactful overview of how to integrate authenticity into lessons related to Indigenous content. While the document is intended for K-3 instructors, it touches upon key themes that can be integrated into other levels. I was particularly drawn to the graphic that included themes and topics educators encounter in Indigenous resources.
