Indigenous Knowledge CoP Update: Into the Everlasting Skies Community Event

KAAGEGII ZHI GOONG ~ Into the Everlasting Skies Community Event – April 10th 2021

 

This fun and interactive Saturday event brought together community members, families young and old as well as the FNMIEAO Community of Practice partners.

During this event cultural knowledge was shared and connections were made to Mathematics and the Sciences.  Conversations and activities explored how Indigenous Knowledge systems are rich with deep connections to the land and night sky which included rocketry.

 

The community sent in videos sharing about how they connect with the land and water and the kids were able to witness rockets being launched over video.  Kits were provided for kids, families and school classrooms to become familiar with the processes involved with rocketry.
