Abstract
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 Metis 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.
