I got to host a panel with Kelsey Leonard & @taramcallister.bsky.social & had dinner catered by Sly Fox Den Too (owner is Sherry Pocknett, Mashpee Wampanoag, the fricking rockstar Indigenous chef) and I am floating on fricking air right now and thinking about the future of #IndigenousSTEM 🧪🪶

🧪What can a Choctaw story about a hunter & an alligator teach us about survival & thriving in STEM?

Dr. Liza Leclair shows how Indigenous storytelling helps students feel seen—and succeed—in STEM.

This Swinomish 13 Moon is time when spring plant shoots and fern roots are gathered, halibut are fished, and canoes and baskets made.

Here’s the Christmas ornaments we made and gave out to our Tribal Community along with more Christmas Clams books. Wood discs cut from Lone Tree windfall wood with illustrated clams and our DEP logo laser etched on each side.
#IndigenousSTEM 🍎🧪⚒️🐡
2 wood discs cut from douglas fir branches with bark. Each is laser etched with Swinomish Dept of Environmental Protection (DEP) logo on one side and a NW Coast stylized clam on the other side. Each has a red hanging ribbon and a green tag written as described in the follow up post. Both are sitting on a copy of the book Christmas Clams written by my late father, Ray Mitchell and illustrated by Mark Oakley - it’s a story of when my Dad went with his Dad clam digging at Christmas time at Lone Tree point in the 1940’s.
