'Aboriginal science symposium: enabling Aboriginal student success in post-secondary institutions'

Mainstream education has consistently undervalued Indigenous knowledge and this can be quite frustrating for educators and students of Aoriginal origin. Has this failure to teach from a broad cultural orientation resulted in the under-representation of Aboriginal persons in health and science occupations? A unique collaborative initiative grew from Canada's University of Lethbridge Support Program for Aboriginal Nursing Students: the 2009 Aboriginal Science Symposium. Academics worldwide interested in developing more inclusive curricula should review the recommendations from this Symposium.
