#2<\/span><\/strong>:\u00a0 After reading Bowers (2000) and Howe (1998), I became interested in what can be done to educate the indigenous learner without manipulating his\/her culture.\u00a0 \u00a0This article by Aikenhead compares and contrasts the Aboriginal way of knowing science to the Eurocentric approach.\u00a0\u00a0 He ends the paper optimistically, citing that one day all people will combine their knowledge for a betterment of the \u201cwhole\u201d.<\/p>\n
