Over the course of the past 15 years there has been a concerted effort by Indigenous people around the world to reconcile the historical chasm that has existed between the knowledge systems they have developed to sustain themselves for millennia and the knowledge and ways of knowing that have emerged under the banner of Western science. Alaska Native people have taken an active part in documenting and articulating their worldviews, particularly as they bear upon the educational processes and ways of knowing by which their traditions are passed on from generation to generation. Numerous educational resources have been developed by educators and Elders in each cultural region of Alaska to bring the local knowledge systems to the forefront to be included side-by-side with the Western curriculum in the implementation of educational programs. This curriculum handbook and the accompanying CD from the Common Knowledge radio series introduces the reader to the creative potential of bringing multiple knowledge systems to bear in our understanding of the world around us.
