There are many ways to learn about science!
Casey Eagle Speaker, Kainai Elder
Science is traditionally taught and learned from a Western worldview, but there are many ways of knowing and connecting through knowledge with science. Science becomes more relevant and relatable when our minds and hearts are open to the what of knowing from the land, sky and spirit.
Coming all the way from Manitoba, Cree Knowledge Keeper Wilfred Buck has brought Tipis and Telescopes! Everyone is invited to come for a weekend of star stories, ceremony, Indigenous science and community.
Listen to star stories while gazing at the Milky Way under the dark of a new moon, from Indigenous Knowledge Keepers and NASA scientists.
