STEM learning can be achieved by considering various aspects. These aspects include indigenous Sovereignty, recognizing that the U.S. is a settler-colonial nation, The UN Declaration of Indigenous Rights, Decolonization & Resurgence, and Indigenous Ways of Knowing. To gain the full benefit of all STEM learning, we see that the following aspects must be addressed in the classroom: Indigenous sovereignty and culture is respected. Without honoring Indigenous sovereignty and culture, our understanding of STEM is limited. Our understanding is also determined by who gets to decide what it means to be an expert on STEM, who’s allowed to participate in STEM activities, how many students are actually given equitable access to the learning opportunities on offer, and how much time a student should spend on each activity. We must have an equal opportunity for all students to have equitable access and equal time so that they may fully develop their literacy skills as they work at their own pace with experts as needed.
