This web page contains a paper regarding possible ways to implement Indigenous knowledge in Western science and technology classes.

Written in 2002, it is interesting to note the suggestions given by the author that have not yet been adequately addressed, six years later.

This paper stresses the need for a formal agreement between Aboriginal and Western parties on their respective rights and responsibilities in terms of science and technology education.

It is an interesting and informative read, presenting shrewd possibilities for a better science and technology education for all students.
