My Project

All students want to be recognized and acknowledged. Receiving these ribbons will acknowledge their hard work towards the science fair and give them hope that they can pursue science as Indigenous students. The problem with western science is that it isolates natural phenomena instead of seeing them as a whole starting with the person. These students' cultures and roots directly involve science and my goal as their teacher is to help them see it and become scientists themselves. One thing I love is that there is no word for science in the Navajo language because the meaning of it is life.
