Including a comprehensive overview and a bunch of case studies, Ancient Wisdom, Modern Science is a great source on the integration of STEM and indigenous knowledge in tribal colleges and universities.

Rather than treating STEM and native knowledge as two alternative entities to be awkwardly intermarried into a hodgepodge curriculum, this volume advocates (and demonstrates) how native perspectives can be infused into coursework that allows for new perspectives in the fields of hard science. Cases are also made to show how math and technology can be utilized as tools to address specific tribal interests and challenges.

Sadly, science has a long history of being used as a tool of Western hegemony over other traditions. This has contributed to the unfortunate assumption that STEM exists only as a Western set of ideologies. What I liked about this volume is that it does not treat native perspectives as supplemental material, but as the main viewpoint. At that, a viewpoint that does not depreciate STEM in anyway, but allows for these fields to be taught in ways that could allow for new understandings that are ultimately beneficial to science, technology, and math.

There is a lot of cool stuff here. Even if you do not go to a tribal college, the case studies are written by teachers and academic educators, so I would argue that they have universal substance. But as always, read and decide for yourself.
