| contents | Alaska Native Elders' Contribution to Education: The Fairbanks AISES Science Camp. Bradley, Claudette Reyes, Maria Elena Alaska Natives American Indian Education Cultural Education Culturally Relevant Education Geographic Isolation Indigenous Knowledge Middle School Students Middle Schools Older Adults Outdoor Education Resident Camp Programs Rural Education Science Education Student Development Summer Science Programs The Fairbanks American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) Science Camp was designed for Alaska Native middle school students from 11 school districts. The camp enables students to learn from Native Elders while completing hands-on science projects; stimulates interest and confidence in mathematics, science, and engineering among Alaska Native students; provides a curriculum that integrates Alaska Native knowledge and values with Western mathematics and science; and encourages parents to support the academic pursuits of their children. Secondary camp objectives relate to students' cultural and spiritual development and the creation of a network of students interested in science education in Alaska. The academic component of the camp required students to complete a science project following the scientific method and specific guidelines for writing up the report. The cultural component required students to interact with Elders daily, consult and interview Elders about their science projects, complete various traditional projects under guidance of Elders, and learn traditional social rules of behavior. Students found that in most cases the knowledge and experience of the Elders complemented, confirmed, and surpassed the quality and depth of information found in either the library or Internet. The grand prize winners in the Kodiak and Fairbanks AISES science fairs, which are open to all rural, middle school students in Alaska, were former participants of these science camps.
