INDIGENOUS INGENUITY: TIMELESS INVENTIONS NORTHERN TOUR
Ongoing (Travelling Exhibition)
NORTHERN ONTARIO
Indigenous peoples from North America have long demonstrated a great sense of ingenuity, using nature as inspiration. The world we know today was, in part, fashioned by their innovations and approaches to science.
