Watch Indigenous ways of knowing in the STEM Classroom

Dear Listen and Learn community,

I hope you might join Jean-Paul Restoule and I this Wednesday as we welcome Dr. Shauneen Pete (Little Pine First Nation) who will be our webinar guest for Decolonization and Indigenization in the Classroom this Wednesday at 7pm EST.

Dr. Pete will specifically address how to connect the concepts of Decolonization and Indigenization to learning outcomes in your classrooms.

Tickets sold out in record time and we now have over 1000 people attending. So today I am inviting you to either join us live on Facebook on Listen & Learn's community page, or to sign up to receive the recording afterwards. You can sign up for both options on our eventbrite page here.

What I'm reading

This month I'm reading Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer.

It is giving me hope for a better way forward as we move through this pandemic, and opening my eyes to the vast wisdoms Indigenous peoples have accrued through their relationship to the land since Time Immemorial.

It has also made me confront the grief that I feel in not having a closer relationship and knowledge with the plants, animals, and minerals

Here are the questions that this book is provoking in me:

How would our consumption, economies, and relationships be different if we were to see everything we take from the earth as a gift?
How do I (we) enter into right relations at this time, and how can I support Indigenous peoples to lead the way?

You can purchase a copy from Goodminds.com or hopefully access it through your local libary's online system.

Indigenous ways of knowing and STEM Webinar

Last month Hayle Gallup joined us to speak to the work she has been doing incorporating place-based teaching with K to 12 students, and connecting the learning to the STEM curriculum.

The examples of the types of field work she has been able to carry out with students in both urban and community settings left me inspired. You can take a look at the recording, which I've embedded from Youtube below.

Hayle put together a long list of resources to accompany the webinar, which is now available at www.angelanardozi.com/webinars
