Meet the Scientists

The Salish Peoples of British Columbia have been practising STEM for thousands of years, long before Europeans arrived on this continent. They used: engineering, math, ecology, hydrology, geology, geography, botany, zoology, physiology, and more in their day-to-day lives. There are too many examples to list but they include: crafting intricate woven items, erecting longhouses and totem poles, developing medicines, and building fish traps, as well as through harvesting and preserving food, managing fish and fruit stocks, and navigating their ways on land and sea.

It's October 11th, 🛶 the first US National Indigenous Peoples Day, as so proclaimed three days ago by President Joseph R. Biden to celebrate "the invaluable contributions and resilience of Indigenous peoples. We also recommit to supporting a new, brighter future of promise and equity for Tribal Nations – a future grounded in Tribal sovereignty and respect for the human rights of Indigenous people in the Americas and around the world."

President Biden also proclaimed this day Columbus Day, continuing a tradition begun in 1934. In this proclamation, President Biden urged Americans to reflect on "America's spirit of exploration" and "on the courage and contributions of Italian Americans throughout the generations," while acknowledging "the painful history of wrongs and atrocities that many European explorers inflicted on Tribal Nations and Indigenous communities."

Someday, the American president will go back to issuing only one proclamation for the second Monday of October – only this time it will be for Indigenous Peoples Day, not Columbus Day – hopefully sooner, not later. This is a good start, though. ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

It’s national Indigenous people day here in Canada. We have a LONG LONG way to go but I wanted to say niá:wen to all those who support indigenous rights. Spread the word and keep up the fight for equality. #nationalindigenouspeoplesday #mohawk #humanrights https://www.instagram.com/p/CBsq4sZDfO0/?igshid=vvnxgei7w24e

Happy National Indigenous Peoples Day and Blessed Litha!!! My first of many terrariums was my Litha craft today; this one was made as a gift for a wonderful, strong and inspirational woman. The dragonfly holds special meaning to her and when I couldn’t save this one last summer, I knew I wanted to make something for her with it. There’s a bee sitting atop of a thrift blossom and a bone/skull totem in the front. The barked moss came from my Vancouver trip and the witches beard from my local cedar forest. #terrarium #terrariums #rodentskull #driedbee #thrift #moss #witchesbeard #witchesofinstagram #witchcraft #lithacraft #litha #nationalindigenouspeoplesday #eclecticwitch #naturewitch #witchythings #witchycrafts #bee #handcollected #ethicallysourced #ethicallymade #handmade #artisan #witchbiz #instawitch #witchblr (at Vernon, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/By_26PuHBG2/?igshid=1fcy0h04lleyn

Celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day with Art

The summer solstice has special resonance in Canada as it coincides with National Indigenous Peoples Day.

National Indigenous Peoples Day recognizes and celebrates the cultures and contributions of the First Nations, Inuit and Métis Indigenous peoples of Canada. First celebrated as National Aboriginal Day in 1996, the day was renamed in 2017. June 21 was chosen for many reasons, including its cultural significance as the Summer solstice, and because many Indigenous peoples and communities traditionally celebrate their heritage on the solstice. 

This weekend presents a perfect opportunity to visit ᐄᓃᐤ (ÎNÎW) River Lot 11∞  - Edmonton’s Indigenous Art Park. The result of a deep multiyear partnership between Edmonton’s Indigenous communities and artists, the City of Edmonton, and the Edmonton Arts Council, the park celebrates and tells the stories of ‘this place.’

Situated within the historic Queen Elizabeth Park on the south side of Queen Elizabeth Park Road, the six artworks examine and evoke millennia of Indigenous history. 

Curated by Candice Hopkins, the park features: iskotew - Amy Malbeuf (Rich Lake, Alberta), pehonan - Tiffany Shaw-Collinge (Edmonton, Alberta), mikikwan - Duane Linklater (Moose Cree First Nation, Ontario), mamohkamatowin (Helping One Another) - Jerry Whitehead (James Smith First Nation, Saskatchewan), Reign - Mary Anne Barkhouse (Nimpkish Band, Kwakiutl First Nation, British Columbia), and Preparing to Cross the Sacred River - Marianne Nicolson (Dzawada'enuxw Nation, British Columbia).

Earlier this month, ᐄᓃᐤ (ÎNÎW) River Lot 11∞ was the only Canadian public art project to receive recognition as one of the 50 most compelling public art projects in North America through the Americans for the Arts Public Art Network Year in Review. You can read more about ᐄᓃᐤ (ÎNÎW) River Lot 11∞ here. 

Here are a few more events to take in.

The incredible work @grandmothersvoice has collaborated on with others to create space for #indigenous voices in #milton #ontario is amazing! Today, I am reminded as to why we must still work to have their voices rise above our own and that we must listen and learn to do better. Happy #nationalindigenouspeoplesday 🧡 Some of the art and language on this poster on culture based trauma informed practices may be triggering. I apologize in advance for any harm I may have inadvertently caused. My intention is only to showcase the work being done by #indigenous activists on educating the rest of us.
