First Nations' Board

Our First Nations' Board ensures that the network authentically represents the wishes, interests and motivations of First Nations science educators and community members as regards the teaching and promotion of Indigenous science. Currently, the Board comprises mainly university level academics who come from First Nations peoples across the world. They review all bulletins before release to ensure that items featured are culturally appropriate and presented satisfactorily. Their details follow below.
