This book explores diverse relationships at play in integrating
Indigenous knowledges and Western Science in curricula. The readers will
unravel ways in which history, policy, and relationships with local
Indigenous communities play a role in developing and implementing
'cross-cultural' science curricula in schools.
Incorporating stories from multiple individuals involved in curriculum
development and implementation - university professors, a ministry
consultant, a First Nations and Métis Education coordinator, and most
importantly, classroom teachers - this book offers suggestions for
education stakeholders at different levels.
Focusing on the importance of understanding 'relationships at play',
this book also shows the author's journey in re/search, wherein she
grapples with both Indigenous and Western research frameworks. Featuring
a candid account of this journey from research preparation to writing,
this book also offers insights on the relationships at play in doing
re/search that respects Indigenous ways of coming to know.
