Natural Curiosity 2nd Edition:
A Resource for Educators: The Importance of Indigenous Perspective in Children’s Environmental Inquiry
The second edition of Natural Curios- ity supports a stronger basic awareness of Indigenous perspectives and their impor- tance to environmental education. The driving motivation for a second edition was the burning need, in the wake of strong and unequivocal recommendations by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, to situate Indigenous perspectives into the heart of Canadian educational settings and curricula, most notably in connection with environmental issues.
The Indigenous lens in this edition rep-
resents a cross-cultural encounter support- ing what can become an ongoing dialogue and evolution of practice in environmental inquiry. Some important questions are raised that challenge us to think in very dif- ferent ways about things as fundamental as the meaning of knowledge.
The print edition sells for $50. The on- line version (PDF) is $35.
