This resource Octavia Cayenne Pepper is an Indegnous AI section of Chat GPT. It uses Indigenous content and ways of thinking to answer questions. I asked it “How to incorporate Indigenous ways of thinking in Math for Grade 1-2‘s and it gave me a list of idea’s on how to do so such as counting what the land offers like stones, leaves, bird calls, etc. This could be a great resource when lesson planning or to question if your lesson offers meaningful Indigenous content as opposed to just checking a box off. I played around with this resource quite a bit and I found the responses were very thought provoking and rooted in Indigenous ways of thinking. One thing to note as with any AI is that it is subjective and not always accurate, if you are ever unsure about Indigenous content or materials it is good to check with your Indigenous advocate at your school.
Teacher Idea:
This resource can be used to help check the appropriateness of encorporating Indiegnous content in your lesson plans. It often offers suggestions such as “what to do/what not to do” to ensure we are not sharing information that is not ours to share, or sharing content in a meaningful way.
