Scientific disciplines such as astronomy, ecology, engineering, zoology, and even artificial intelligence have all been influenced by the knowledge learned by the First Peoples of North America. This documentary explores the science and the people behind some of the greatest scientific achievements of our time. Learn about the contributions of North America’s indigenous people and the practices that are still being used by today’s global scientific community. From Innu elders studying northern ecosystems to farming methods of Native Canadians being integrated into modern farming methods, this program showcases what great achievements are possible when traditional knowledge meets western science.
