IndigiGLOBE
Our Mission
Indigenizing GLOBE instructional content and activities by grounding them in appropriate local and shared Indigenous cultural Ways of Knowing, Being, and Doing, for use by undergraduate students at Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs). This work will produce a “Guidebook for Recommended Use of GLOBE Earth Systems Science (ESS) Curriculum.”
