For STEM education researchers working with tribal communities, it is essential that the curriculum be grounded in tribal culture and values. The community's desire is that their youth be prepared to stand in two worlds: one in one in which tribal values are fully honored and on in which they apply the best practices of western STEM knowledge.ConclusionEngaging tribal communities in education is critical to validate theoretical research, whichrecommends culturally relevant STEM experiences to inspire student
