Respect. Relationship. Responsibility. Reciprocity.
Our partners gave voice to and enacted these Indigenous Arts and Sciences initiative guiding principles during last week’s advisory meeting. For two days on Ho-Chunk ancestral lands (Madison and Baraboo), we shared IAS stories and did collaborative visioning for the future. We are excited by the work each community is doing towards engaging Native youth in science learning that honors and integrates their cultures and indigenous wisdom!
