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

Entry 2: Ensouling Our Schools

I found this resource while searching for resources on Indigenization. I have not read it yet, but at first glance, it has a strong focus on mental health and emotional well being. With respect to my research, I am most interested in the chapter titled, “Programming for Reconciliation and Education for Reconciliation” which will (hopefully) provide me with additional strategies to add to the framework/template/principles I am creating to help incorporate Indigeneity in an authentic way in my classrooms.
