Hello Everyone,

This is our last update for the year.

New textbooks

Knowing Home: Braiding Indigenous Science with Western Science - Book 2
This new work joins Book 1, published in 2016. Knowing Home attempts to capture the creative vision of Indigenous scientific knowledge and technology that is derived from an ecology of a home place. The traditional wisdom component of Indigenous Science—the values and ways of decision-making—assists humans in their relationship with each other, the land and water, and all of creation. Edited by Gloria Snively and Lorna Wanosts'a7 Williams, this work was overseen by the University of Victoria ePublishing Services, and supported by an OER Grant from BCcampus Open Education.

Financial Empowerment: Personal Finance for Indigenous and Non-Indigenous People

This book is designed for a single-semester introduction to financial planning and decision-making, in order to provide first and second-year business students with the necessary financial literacy and skills needed to make sound financial decisions, assess financial risk, and achieve financial success. This textbook attempts to speak to the varied backgrounds, knowledge systems, and experiences of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians by providing Indigenous and non-Indigenous perspectives on personal finance and financial planning using examples and information from the Canadian financial system, economy, and Elders. This open textbook adaptation, by Bettina Schneider from the First Nations University of Canada, is published by the Open Access Publishing Program part of the University of Regina Press.
