Natural Curiosity hosted Caleb Wesley in our webinar Sending Out Roots: Connecting Indigenous Stories of Place to the Curriculum. Caleb is a science educator who specializes in engagement and outreach for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth and educators to build knowledge, capacity and competency in integrating Indigenous ways of knowing into their teaching and learning.  The Indigenous lens on Branch II of Natural Curiosity’s four-branch framework says, “Indigenous perspectives highlight a multi-layered relationship to space and place, over many generations, that cut across time, both in our physical world and in the subtle and metaphysical realms.”  In this webinar Caleb explored both stories and place from an Indigenous perspective. Caleb also shared a lesson the was co-created connecting the star story of The Fisher, as shared by Isaac Murdoch, to the Ontario curriculum through building circuit constellations with students. This lesson serves as a model for building these connections in a good way across the curriculum in Ontario and beyond!
