Tree Teachings: ​​Combining Indigenous Earth Science & Western Science
Saturday November 9, 2024 9:15am - 10:15am MST
Orchid Ballroom
Join Valerie Miller to be introduced to Tree Teachings, Indigenous-authored science resources that combine Indigenous science and western science. Six resources have been (or are soon to be) developed looking at trees that span Canada and share significance to multiple Indigenous populations: Wáhta (Sugar Maple), Azaadi (Aspen), Giizhik (Cedar), Mitigomizh (Oak), Baapaagimaak (Ash) and Mashkiigwaatig (Tamarack). Explore the virtual resources and hands-on components developed by an Indigenous educator and a collective of Elders, Knowledge Keepers, Indigenous academics, scientists and educators.
