Land Based Indigenous Science Camps

In your community & Campus Internships for Youth

“Scientists are looking at what is in the cup, while we were using our Indigenous Knowledge to look at what was happening outside the cup – to show that our water was not safe to drink or to swim in. That the moose are dead.” (Robert Spence, Ithinew – Cree)
