Summary of the Project:
We develop the textbook for the introductory Physics courses of universities. The textbook will include examples with Indigenous elements. I have interviewed three Elders and two Indigenous knowledge keepers to develop examples about the tipi, drum and dog sleds. The textbook will be published in online format. The videos of interviews and the drum-making demo will be incorporated to the textbook content.
