Knowing Home: Braiding Indigenous Science with Western Science, Book 1

by Gloria Snively (Editor), Wanosts'a7 Lorna Williams (Editor)

Knowing Home weaves Indigenous perspectives, worldviews, and wisdom practices into the science curriculum. It provides a window into the scientific knowledge and technological innovations of the Indigenous peoples who live in Northwestern North America, thus providing numerous examples and cases for developing science lessons and curricula. Knowing Home shows how Indigenous perspectives can give insight and guidance as we attempt to solve the complex environmental problems of the 21st century.

Full disclosure I did not read every single word, but I did find a lot of information in here, have shared sections with staff and will return to learn more. I love the diagrams that went along with the descriptions (ex: canoes, fishing). I hope we can continue opening our eyes to the fact that Indigenous Peoples figured out a LOT of stuff looooong before colonization.
