Wow…What a beautiful community❤❤.
Thanks Prof. Glanfield for sharing your personal stories on your relationship with mathematics as a Métis Indigenous woman. I leaned so much from listening to you highlighting the relationship between mathematics and indigenous knowledge and more importantly, the richness and diversity of mathematical thinking across different cultures and contexts.
As educators, we can create more inclusive and culturally relevant mathematics classrooms by acknowledging and valuing these diverse ways of knowing and problem-solving our students bring to our classrooms. Thanks Cindy and Kyle for orchestrating the conversations. I hope is okay to share this video with my grad students in my upcoming Spring course. Love to everyone who made this gathering possible. I look forward to subsequent episodes.

By all means, please do share any of these videos with your students! There are a few videos that are often cited in different courses, and some which are included as required reading. How great to hear, Kwesi!
