Why not and an indigenous approach to learning!

http://diverseeducation.com/article/11850/Gregory Cajete a Native American Scholar who avocates  for Native Science and an indigenous approach to
 learning in elementary and secondary schools in America. His philosophy is geared towards incorporating Natural science and math in school curriculum. He finds the importants of educating today's children to have a well rounded school experience being taught the importance of community,cultural and the environment. Why not embrace his philosophy of education. Since America is so filled with rich history of native americans why not incorporate thier voice and history in our school system. We should embrace and welcome this form or learning and teaching in our educational system. There is a lot to be learned by knowing the ways of the indigenous people.
