I'll start and then I'll pass it over.
It's on purpose, the braiding. It was mentioned earlier that it makes it stronger. However, if you look at the braid, and you're holding it, you can see that there are very distinct pieces of yarn that make up that braid.
I hear “blend” lots of times. Our knowledge, the ability for us to be a part of this conversation, is within our indigenous being, and that is separate. It's different, and it has just as much value as western science.
This braiding, making it stronger, is the opportunity for us to give that lens that we need to be able to provide an opportunity to see science from a different perspective, and then we can make good decisions on that science.
I'll turn it over.
