TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE: Many schools are now teaching Indigenous Knowledge and have developed curricula about Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK). This is one of the first books to cover TEK for young readers. Interest is high for adult books on the subject, such as Robin Wall Klimmerer's Braiding Sweetgrass:Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants. STEM AND CURRICULUM CONNECTIONS: The body of Indigenous Knowledge covers aspects of life from medicine, architecture, astronomy, to ecology and the climate. For a long time, this knowledge was dismissed by Western scientists as "primitive" because it was inseparable from stories and ceremonies. However, people everywhere are beginning to learn that the lessons of Indigenous Knowledge are vital for a sustainable, healthy, and harmonious planet. AWARD-WINNING WRITING TEAM: Professor Eldon Yellowhorn and Kathy Lowinger previous books received heaps of recognition--Kirkus called What the Eagle Sees: Stories of Indigenous Rebellion and Renewal "Essential." in the starred review. EMPOWERING: For Indigenous youth who have not had the opportunity to learn about this body of knowledge, it is empowering and a source of pride. For non-Indigenous youth, learning about a worldview that may be brand new to them can be a step toward reconciliation and moving forward together.
