The Think Indigenous initiative inspires educators to think about education through an Indigenous knowledge lens.
Chris Scribe is the Executive Director and Board Chair of Think Indigenous, an initiative that seeks to support programs, innovations, and education that focus on Indigenous knowledge. Scribe believes that Indigenous knowledge is “an embodiment of life, it’s all levels of understanding relative to the area in which we live.” Scribe explains that what is needed now is for Indigenous people to create curriculums based on Indigenous knowledge that can be used within our education system. We need to invite our Knowledge Keepers into our classrooms so that traditional knowledge is valued and honoured. As well, leaders in education need to make room for educators to try Indigenous methods and approaches to learning.
