Upper Peninsula Teaching & Learning Conference - 2026

Since time immemorial, Indigenous communities have employed scientific processes to understand and steward resources here on Turtle Island (North America). Educators seeking to bring these Indigenous knowledges into their classroom need frameworks for conceptualizing the historical and current relationships between Western/academic science, and Indigenous science. This discussion-based session will allow K-12 practitioners to engage with such a framework (called "Two-Eyed Seeing") via the expertise of three Upper Peninsula-based scholars.
