Resumen
The colonisation of many Indigenous communities, particularly in the nineteenth century, has led to a loss of cultural knowledge as the colonisers’ knowledge became the valued knowledge in educational institutions. In this project we are exploring some of the challenges attached to revitalising cultural knowledge through mathematics lessons. Although school curricula for Indigenous students often highlights the need for traditional cultural knowledge to be given equivalent status, very few projects have done so successfully. We use examples of spatial orientation to illustrate some of the issues that surround our efforts to revitalise cultural knowledge through mathematics education.
