By working with and learning from Indigenous creators, knowledge holders, researchers and communities we are working to change our practices, empower future projects, and be accountable to our pasts. We hope this supports self-determination and the rights of Indigenous peoples.

Object handling w/ @McrMuseum's Botany & Entomology collections helped us to tell fuller (hi)stories & different perspectives through the plants & insects we care for. Excited to see how students engage w/the rest of the project & maybe we will get to plant some purple potatoes!
