Knowing Home: Braiding Indigenous Science with Western Science
Knowing Home attempts to de- scribe the creative
vision of Indigenous scientific knowledge and technology that is derived from an ecology of a home place. The traditional wisdom component of Indigenous Sci- ence—the values and ways of decision- making—assists humans in their relation- ship with each other, the land and water, and all of creation. Knowing Home weaves Indigenous perspectives, worldviews, and wisdom practices into the science curricu- lum. It provides a window into the scientific knowledge and technological innovations of the Indigenous peoples of Northwest- ern North America, providing numerous examples and cases for developing science lessons and curricula. Knowing Home shows how Indigenous perspectives have the potential to give insight and guidance as we attempt to solve the complex environ- mental problems of the 21st century.
Knowing Home is available online or
you can order a hard copy through the UVic Bookstore.
