Maybe this is just me reflecting on my past experiences in science, but until I came to Regina to work on my after degree, I had never considered including aboriginal concepts in a classroom. I did not realize science could have an aboriginal, maybe this is just me not knowing, but to think how to include it in the classroom is beyond anything I can think of. I feel like I don’t know much about aboriginal beliefs or how to include them into a science class.
* Update
After a trip to FNU (First Nations University) I have been shown how to include one aspect of Aboriginal culture into a science class. We went to the garden at FNU that contains Native Prairie Plants. It would be a great location to bring elementary students to see what naturally grows on the prairies and to discuss the features of the various plants that allow them to survive the weather.

It would be even better to meet with an elder and have them describe the value of these plants and what they are used for.
