Oshele from the Sliammon
Nation, describes the project in the following way, "This is not a traditional Sliammon story but one
that could be told in any First Nations communty. The story appealed to
us because of it descriptive language and presented a challenge to
translate. The story also has a math focus and we hope to encourage
teachers to use it."
Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences
At The Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) we believe that mathematics is a science without boundaries, and that it is our role to act as a catalyst for scientific discovery. We encourage initiatives that open lines of communication between our member institutions and the best science from all around the world. The links in the left margin describe the framework within which we currently classify proposals.
