Abstract
This project defines, through its review of the literature, the many challenges that Aboriginal youth face within the dominant Canadian education system that fails to fully acknowledge and integrate Aboriginal knowledge and ways of being. As part of a response to this problem, the construction of a traditional village as learning centre is proposed and detailed. Further in this project, a sample unit plan that integrates Aboriginal ways of knowing into science is presented. It is hoped that such a project will allow First Nations people to take control of their own education, for the benefit of all society.
