Teams of 3 to 5 students will conduct virtual research at your institution to identify opportunities to enhance the presence of Indigenous knowledge systems and practices within your public engagement programs (e.g. thematic displays, interpretative materials, website design/presentation, curricula). Students will be allocated 12 hours to this project, and produce a report with proposed strategies to augment Indigenous visibility at your institution.

Project context: In view of the recent acknowledgment of the colonial roots of Canadian institutions, many are engaging with the development of measures that facilitate the integration of Indigenous Peoples' invaluable systems of knowledge and practice. Given this colonial legacy, natural science/history museums, botanical gardens, and zoos are called to rethink and possibly re-frame their public engagement and pedagogical orientations to include and/or enhance Indigenous content. This project offers timely resources toward these ends.

Final deliverables may include the following, depending on what is needed:

• A report on the current state of your Institution's engagement with Indigenous content as is pertains to current efforts in Canada to decolonize the material that educational institutions such as yours offer to general audiences;
• Suggestions on how to proceed to further enhance your programs of public engagement and/or curricula toward augmenting the visibility Indigenous Peoples' knowledge in relation to the unique specificities of your institution.
