## Resource

Welcome to Smoketalk! If you haven't listened to the previous episode "Deadly Math: Movement, Kinship, & Action" with Chris Matthews, I recommend going there first then coming back to smoketalk to listen to the Pod Team's takes and expanded conversation about this episode. This episode Emil & Kori welcomed Brendon Many Bears who brought insights about tipi aerodynamics and Blackfoot mathematics. Check out ATSIMA (Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Mathematics Alliance), an amazing organization that we donated to for this episode as requested by Chris. They are an Aboriginal-led charity creating new ways of teaching and learning mathematics by connecting mathematics to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures If you want more Indigenous Mathematics Pod episodes: " Hunting Mathematics " with Philip Stevens " Change Making, Anishnawbek Mathematics, & Surgeon Legs " with Cheyenne Sego " Wayfinding through Relational Trigonometry of Stars, Swells, & Spirit " with Dr. Kamuela Yong " Reconciliation Science through Tipi Math & Indigenous Sound Baths " with Brendon Many Bears & Darren Rea " Mathematics is Creation, Being, & Medicine " with Dr. Edward Doolittle " Ethnomathematics solves Real World Problems " with Dr. Linda Furuto Ancestral Science Podcast Website Ancestral Science Podcast Merch Follow us on IG and FB Please like, share, follow, all the things...helps us to get these important conversations out there.
