THUNDER BAY— Nipissing First Nation’s Bryan Bellefeuille and Red Rock Indian Band’s Cecilia Person enjoyed sharing their knowledge of Indigenous mathematics and Anishinaabemowin at the Teach For Canada Summer Enrichment Program in Thunder Bay.
“For many years, including my education, there was absolutely no content on Indigenous people — so why would we ever think we ever had mathematics?” says Bellefeuille, who studied at the Schulich School of Education at Nipissing University after completing an undergraduate in Mathematics. “The truth be told, we had very complex mathematics — it’s documented that Indigenous people even understood quantum physics, the interrelation of many things.”
