EXPERIMENTING with scientific principles 
SHARING acquired knowledge by passing it on to others 

Be inspired by Indigenous science and ways of knowing, and discover how Indigenous ingenuity continues to influence today’s society.

Indigenous Ingenuity was created by the Montreal Science Centre in collaboration with knowledge holders from First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities. 

It is presented at the Ontario Science Centre in partnership with Lead Sponsor University of Waterloo and Supporting Sponsor Ontario Power Generation.
