Traditional materials are both beautiful and sustainable, but they take a lot of work to prepare! We talked to 3 folks with lots of experience in this art form: Mandee McDonald, Samantha Saksagiak & Amber Sandy.

In my first for @UA_magazine, I spoke to many incredible Indigenous academics and experts on how they're taking their roles within institutions and their own communities to ensure that science and research are being done in a good way.
Our May-June cover story by @KellyBoutsalis explores how Indigenous researchers and communities are working in partnership with universities and non-Indigenous researchers to shape the future of environmental sciences. universityaffairs.ca/feature… #CdnPSE

If you want to see an increase in Indigenous STEM participation- you do something about it. Be a part of organizing efforts or sponsor to make efforts possible.

Why do we have so few Indigenous scientists or academics? @ambersandy telling us about the challenges Indigenous children face, and having to leave their homes to get a simple highschool education. #SciCommTO

This is such an important discussion: "Many First Nations who have implemented a Land Code tout the ability to create their own laws as a major benefit, but we question to what extent these reserve land management laws correspond to Indigenous legal systems."
As more and more communities move rapidly into the First Nations Land Management regime, a new Yellowhead Special Report, authored by Dr. Shalene Jobin and @emilyjaneriddle, provide much needed analysis on the regime's philosophy, process and outcomes:
