Looking at diverse sources of knowledge provides very strong evidence that human-caused changes to the climate are leading to extreme weather events with long term impacts on people and the environment.&nbsp;This study not only included knowledge from Inuvialuit who have a deep and long-standing relationship with the land but also cited the knowledge in the same way western scientific knowledge is typically cited.&nbsp;This is an important and long overdue recognition of local Indigenous knowledge in an academic setting.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Students explore the ways in which Indigenous land-based knowledge enhanced this STEM study by engaging in the activity outlined in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/elbowlakecentre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Real-World-STEM-Connection-Storm-Surges_2023.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Real World STEM Connection: Storm Surges.pdf<\/a>.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/elbowlakecentre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/15.-Utilizing-Different-Ways-of-Knowing-to-Understand-and-CCC_2023.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Printer Friendly Activity<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/elbowlakecentre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Real-World-STEM-Connection-Storm-Surges_2023.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Real World STEM Connection: Storm Surges<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"quills-learning-environment":[86],"quills-season":[88,76,74,75,77],"curriculum-focus":[81,80],"quills-subject-area":[21,18,38,20,22],"quills-theme":[34],"bundle":[29],"content-type":[49],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Utilizing Different Ways of Knowing to Understand &amp;
