Module 2: Stereotypes and the Commodification of Indigenous Social Reality
Entry 5: Indigenous Knowledge and STEM Education
These researchers examined students using Indigenous knowledge within STEM to increase agency. The Anishinaabe arcs that were used are found in many aspects of the life and culture of this Indigenous groups. Students were able to translate their knowledge from the practical to technology. I look forward to examining how this framework can impact Indigenous futures.
I also found a website that provided some practical information and examples of arcs. https://csdt.org/culture/anishinaabearcs/index.html
