Featured Hot Take

How to learn what we don’t know we don’t know? Listen to different perspectives and experiences!

Dr. Leroy Little Bear is recognized globally as a leader on Indigenous education, rights, self-governance, language and culture. Really listen to Leroy’s story and reflect on what you hear. What did you know? What did you learn? And on both counts, why was that the case?

We’re featuring this podcast across all five Nature Labs subjects. You might not like every course you take in school, but they are all related. By listening to this podcast, hopefully you’ll better understand why.

Reflection

  • How can we ask better questions that lead to rigorously tested solutions to societal challenges?
  • By asking better questions, will we be able to dig deeper on the issues we face and understand a more complete version of the truth? Is this our best tool for understanding what we don't know we don't know?
  • Can the principals of traditional knowledge help us ask the better questions?
  • Do we do a good enough job of understanding how different cultures view different issues, well, differently?
