Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island have long recognized the land as their fundamental classroom. Through practices like gathering food from animals and plants, as well as constructing sweat lodges, these traditions serve as essential tools for imparting crucial life skills to younger generations. These elements of Indigenous culture are rich with STEM knowledge, encompassing biology, chemistry, mathematical principles, and engineering concepts. This understanding underlies Engineering Outreaches belief in the efficacy of Indigenous land-based learning, which embraces an environmentally approach to education.
